Problem:
The client needs to use the same images across all languages and only translate the captions.
Solution:
1. Enable Media Translation
Ensure that you have the WPML Media Translation plugin installed and activated.
2. Set Up Media Translation Settings
Go to WPML > Settings and scroll down to the Media Translation section. Configure the settings to:
- Duplicate existing media for translated content: This ensures the same media files are used across all languages.
- Duplicate media attachments for translations: This allows media library items to be duplicated for translations.
3. Translate Image Captions
Go to WPML > Media Translation, find the image, and enter the translated captions for each language.
4. Ensure Proper Synchronization
In WPML > Settings, set the 'Media (attachment)' post type to 'Translate' and ensure relevant custom fields are set to 'Translate'.
5. Check Your Content
When adding or editing content, add images as usual and translate the captions in the Media Translation section.
