Problem: You are using WPML for media translation and are concerned about how the settings related to duplicating media might impact storage usage. Solution: If you're experiencing concerns about storage space due to media translation settings in WPML, it's important to understand that settings such as 'Duplicate existing media for translated content' and 'Duplicate media attachments for translations' do not actually duplicate the image files themselves. Instead, these settings create additional entries in the database that point to the existing files. This means that no additional storage space is used for the files themselves. For more detailed information, we recommend checking our official documentation on Media Translation.
