Problem:
The client reported issues with WPML Media Translation after updating WPML and using the Enable Media Replace plugin. Specifically, after replacing media files, the connection between the original and translated media was lost, causing translation issues and errors in media synchronization.
Solution:
1. We confirmed that the issue does not occur with new image uploads but persists with existing media. Running a media synchronization for 'Existing content' at WPML > Settings > Media Translation can resolve the issue.
2. The issue with the Enable Media Replace plugin is known and a fix is expected as discussed here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-wpml-45/
3. If the problem persists, especially with older media entries, syncing the existing media at WPML > Settings > Media Translation should resolve the issue.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues with the Real 3D Flip Book plugin showing English images instead of French on the French site, it might be due to the way translations are handled.
Solution:
Firstly, you should translate the FlipBooks using the WordPress Editor, as detailed here: Using different translation editors for different pages.
Ensure that the translated Flipbook is correctly set in the Elementor Widget options for the Flipbook. Each Flipbook has a unique shortcode in each language, which should be correctly assigned in the widget settings.

The author of the Real 3D FlipBook Plugin is informed and will work on a solution. For developers, adjustments can be made in the plugin files to ensure proper translation handling. In the file

\wp-content\plugins\real3d-flipbook-elementor-addon\widgets\real3d-flipbook.php

, modify the code as follows:

On line 308, replace:

$book_id = $settings['real3d_flipbook_id'];

with:

$book_id = isset($settings['real3d_flipbook_id']) ? $settings['real3d_flipbook_id'] : '';

		// WPML-aware: try to resolve a translated flipbook ID (fallback to post mapping)
		if ( ! empty( $book_id ) && ( class_exists('SitePress')) ) {
			$translated_id = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', (int) $book_id, 'real3dflipbook', true );
			if ( empty( $translated_id ) ) {
				$translated_id = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', (int) $book_id, 'post', true );
			}
			if ( ! empty( $translated_id ) ) {
				$book_id = $translated_id;
			}
		}

And on line 311, replace:

$book_lightboxthumbnail = !empty($settings['real3d_flipbook_lightboxthumbnail']['url']) ? $settings['real3d_flipbook_lightboxthumbnail']['url'] : '';

with:

$book_lightboxthumbnail = '';
			if ( ! empty( $settings['real3d_flipbook_lightboxthumbnail'] ) ) {
				$thumb = $settings['real3d_flipbook_lightboxthumbnail'];

				// Prefer attachment ID if available (Elementor provides ['id'] and ['url'])
				if ( ! empty( $thumb['id'] ) ) {
					$attachment_id = (int) $thumb['id'];

					// Use WPML to get translated attachment ID if available
					if ( class_exists('SitePress')) {
						$translated_id = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $attachment_id, 'attachment', true );
					} else {
						$translated_id = $attachment_id;
					}

					// If we have a translated ID, get its URL
					if ( ! empty( $translated_id ) ) {
						$translated_url = wp_get_attachment_url( $translated_id );
						if ( $translated_url ) {
							$book_lightboxthumbnail = $translated_url;
						}
					}
				}

				// Fallback to the raw URL provided by Elementor if no attachment URL resolved
				if ( empty( $book_lightboxthumbnail ) && ! empty( $thumb['url'] ) ) {
					$book_lightboxthumbnail = $thumb['url'];
				}
			}
