Itamar WPML Supporter since 02/2016 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+02:00)	Hi, In your screenshot, you show the Media translation screen (WPML -> Media translation). I can see that a few images have the pencil icon under the other languages. This means that the images' text, like Alt, Title, and Caption, has been translated. Other images show the plus icon under the other languages. This means you can click the plus icon and translate the image's text. You can also replace the image with another one for the other languages. This is, in practice, the purpose of the Media translation add-on. Please read our Media translation guide here: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/media-translation/#how-to-display-different-media-per-language. Now I need to understand the following, please. 1. How do you translate the content of your site? A. Do you send it for automatic translation through the Translation Dashboard? B. Or do you translate it yourself? 2. Do you need to replace images in the other languages? (If not, then you can deactivate the Media translation add-on.) 3. What are you expecting to get and not getting? Regards, Itamar.
