The WPML Media Translation addon serves as a solution for managing translated content that includes images and other media. This tool becomes essential when using the WPML Translation Management plugin, as it allows for the selection of different images and the translation of meta texts associated with those images in various languages.
Without the WPML Media Translation addon, translating images would typically involve manually translating them along with other content through the WordPress editor. This process would include uploading different images for each translation.
However, when utilizing WPML””s Translation Management, where translations are managed in a dedicated editor, the need arises for a specialized tool to handle image translations. This is where WPML Media Translation comes into play.
For content that contains images with text, especially those representing user interface elements or other textual information, WPML Media Translation ensures that the appropriate images are displayed for each translated version of the content. This enhances the efficiency and accuracy of managing multilingual websites with diverse media content.
