Alt text not switching languages with Falang
-
Hi,
I’ve discovered an issue with the Falang plugin where image alt texts don’t switch when changing languages on my multilingual website.
When I switch between languages on my site, all content changes correctly except for the image alt texts, which remain in the primary language. I’ve properly set up alt texts for all languages in the backend.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Add an image with alt text translations via main WordPress theme as inline or post image
2. View page in different languages
3. Inspect image alt text – it stays in the primary language
I’m using:
– Falang 1.3.59
– Theme: Twenty Twenty-Five
Has anyone else encountered this issue or found a solution? This is important for our site’s accessibility and SEO.Thanks for your help!

Thanks i have reproduce the problem, and see a problem when you switch on the media translation page.
to complete my previous post Falang don’t work fine with full gutenberg site. the alternative text is copied in the page
<!-- wp:image {"id":1737,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} -->
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://192.168.1.46/Wordpress/testWP/wp-content/uploads/products-post-knitted-pointed-cap-intro-landscape-1024x500.jpg" alt="the original alt text" class="wp-image-1737"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">the caption</figcaption></figure>
<!-- /wp:image -->the next feature i will put in falang to translate with the block editor will solve this but actually you have tho change it manually in the falang translation page. When you change the alt in the media page ,it’s not changed in the page and i haven’t see how to sync this.
Exemple of the translation in the falang page tested
