Problem: If you're experiencing an issue where ALT tag fields double in the translation editor when adding new images to a post, it might be due to adding an ALT value both in the media library and directly in the image block within the post editor. Solution: We have identified that this behavior is expected and not caused by WPML. When you add an ALT tag directly to an image block, this attribute is saved with the post content rather than in the media library. To avoid translating media library values along with each post, you can navigate to WPML > Settings > Media Translation and disable the last option in this section. This adjustment ensures that only the ALT text added to the block is used, preventing duplication in the translation editor.
