By the way, I noticed another "weird" behavior, for a new ticket with you, on media translation.

Say, I have an image with a French text. Go to media translation for this image, it leads me to image wpml11a.

Then, in DE version, I upload an other image, with German text, with its german "slug" / file name, it leads me to image wpml11b.

Result leads me to image wpml11c. The slug / title of the original image (in FR) remains for the DE translation. Though it's name / slug is necessarily different. To be fair, I don't see any good reason why the title / slug remains in original language.

Waiting for your feedback on that one too

Kind regards
Alina

Hi Alina,

Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you to resolve the issue.

I hope you are trying to achieve the following. If so it is reproducible in a fresh installation and looks like a feature request.

1) Uploading an image and its name is Test Image
2) So the Image Name/Slug will be *Test Image*
3) Visit WPML>>Media Translation
4) Open the Image *Test Image* for edit
5) Upload the Image Translation
6) Its file name will be *Image d'essai*
7) After Image translation, the name of the translated image will be *Test Image* instead of *Image d'essai*

Please check the following URLs for more details and let us know your feedback.

Hello,
Yes, this is it.
What I understand is that it it the current normal behavior, yes? This is very surprising because I don't see any good reason why the slug / name stays in original language ... and anyway, it's deadend since 2 different images can't have the same name / slug.
Kind regards
Alina
