roliM	Hi there, On our new webisite we are showing the posts featured image at the top of the page. Like this for example: hidden link The alt text of the featured image does not show in the WPML translation interface. So we can not translate it there and the alt text of the header image will be in English on all languages. Is it possible to add the alt text for the featured image In the WPML translation page of the post? So we can translate it while we are working on the translations of the post.
