WPML Media Translation Addon GPL v2.7.5

WPML Media Translation Addon Features

The WPML Media Translation Addon is designed to give you greater control over how media is handled across different languages on your WordPress site. With this addon, you can ensure that your images, videos, and other media are tailored to each language version of your site. Here are the key features of the addon:

Key Features

1. Set Media Languages
   • Assign Languages to Media: You can set specific languages for each media file, allowing you to manage media content in different languages independently.
2. Translate Existing Media
   • Translate Media: Easily translate media items like images, videos, and other files across all languages of your website. This ensures that each language version has its own localized media content.
3. Duplicate Existing Media for Translated Content
   • Duplicate Media: For translated posts or pages, you can duplicate the existing media files so that the same media is available in the translated content without the need to upload them again.
4. Duplicate Featured Images for Translated Content
   • Duplicate Featured Images: The addon allows you to duplicate the featured images for translated content. This ensures that each language version of your post has its own featured image, which can be different from the original language.
5. Make Media Available in All Languages When Uploading
   • Automatic Availability: When uploading new media to the Media Library, you can make it available in all languages immediately, simplifying the process of managing media across multiple language versions of your site.
6. Duplicate Media Attachments for Translations
   • Duplicate Attachments: The addon allows you to duplicate media attachments, such as images and documents, for each translation of your content. This ensures that the media files are properly linked to the translated posts and pages.
7. Duplicate Featured Images for Translations
   • Featured Image Duplication: Just like with regular media, featured images can be duplicated for translated content, ensuring consistency and relevance for each language version.

When to Use WPML Media Translation

You should install and activate the WPML Media Translation Addon if you want to use different media across posts, pages, and custom post types for different languages. This is especially useful when:

• Different Media for Different Audiences: For example, if you have a post about road trips, you might want to use different images for your British audience (driving on the left side) and your French audience (driving on the right side).
• Localized Visual Content: When you need to ensure that images, videos, and other media are relevant to the cultural context of each language, providing a more personalized experience for users in each language.

Benefits

• Localized Media for Each Language: With the ability to set media for each language, you can create a more tailored experience for users, ensuring that media is appropriate and relevant for different cultural contexts.
• Efficient Media Management: By duplicating media and featured images, you save time and effort, as you don’t need to upload media separately for each language.
• Seamless Translation Process: The addon simplifies the process of translating media, making it easier to maintain consistency across multiple language versions of your site.

Conclusion

The WPML Media Translation Addon is a powerful tool for managing media across multilingual WordPress sites. It ensures that you can provide localized media content for each language version of your site, enhancing the user experience and making your content more relevant to a global audience. Whether you need to duplicate media, set language-specific images, or manage featured images, this addon makes the process seamless and efficient.
