Description

The Media Translation addon synchronizes images, videos, and files from the Media Library across WPML languages, automatically duplicating attachments for each translated language and keeping captions, alternative texts, and descriptions translatable in the Translation Editor. Designed for those who operate multilingual WordPress sites and need each language version to display the correct media without repeated manual uploads, eliminating visual inconsistencies between versions.

How to Download Media Translation

Media Translation is available for download here at Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it by going to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file, and activate the addon with WPML already installed on the site. The media translation controls will then appear in the WPML menu and within the Translation Editor.

Integrated into the WPML translation workflow, Media Translation fills a common gap in multilingual projects: the localization of Media Library attachments. The component treats titles, descriptions, captions, and alternative texts as translatable content, aligning the visual experience with the text version of each language and strengthening image indexing in local searches.
