creodeD	Background of the issue: I'm using the WordPress Focal Point plugin to set focal points on images within the media library. I have found the specific meta field to use which is called 'bg_pos_desktop'. I went to 'Multilingual Content Setup' -> 'Custom Field Translations' -> 'Searched for bg_pos' and selected 'Copy' for the 'bg_pos_desktop' field. I have selected 'Copy' for this field within my configuration screen. URL: hidden link Symptoms: The image is duplicated correctly, however, the 'bg_pos_desktop' meta is not added to the new attachment when creating new translations. Questions: Why is the 'bg_pos_desktop' meta not being copied to the new attachment? How can I ensure that the focal point is duplicated correctly for translated attachments?

Also, not sure if you are using the media ID to set anything up, but do note that the media have a different ID per language. The EN media will have a different ID from the same ES media.
