Problem: The client's bilingual website (German and English) displays only the German PDFs on both language versions of a page, despite using the WPML Media Translation tool to add English PDFs. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, it's likely because the PDF links on your page were created with Elementor. In this case, simply replacing the file in WPML -> Media Translation might not suffice. We recommend translating the PDF links directly within the page using WPML's Advanced Translation Editor. For detailed guidance on how to translate links using this tool, please visit Translating Links with Advanced Translation Editor.

Problem: You are trying to translate image alt-text, but the translated page still shows the original language's alt-text when inspecting with Chrome Dev-Tools. Solution: We recommend going to the Advanced Translation Editor and making a minor edit to the text, such as adding a space after the full stop in the English version. After making this change, set the translation as complete. This should update the alt-text to the correct language on the translated page.
