This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client finds the media translation settings in WPML confusing and wants to use the same images across different translations without duplicating them.
Solution:
If you're experiencing confusion with WPML's media translation settings and wish to use the same images across various translations, we recommend keeping the current settings unchanged. When you translate your pages or posts, the media will not be physically duplicated on your server. Instead, an additional database entry will be created, linking the translation to the same image as the original. We suggest testing this setup on a few pages with images to see how it functions.
Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. We highly recommend checking for related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket.
