Overview of the issue

The translation of images using WPML Media Translation may not function as expected for images inserted into the short description of a WooCommerce product. You may observe that, despite translating the image, it does not appear in the translated version of the product’s short description.

Workaround

Please, make sure of having a full backup of your site before proceeding.

• Open …/wp-content/plugins/wpml-media-translation/classes/media-translation/class-wpml-media-post-images-translation.php file.


• Look for line 146.


• Replace:

  			if ( $post_content_filtered !== $post->post_content ) {
  				$this->wpdb->update(
  					$this->wpdb->posts,
  					array( 'post_content' => $post_content_filtered ),
  					array( 'ID' => $post->ID ),
  					array( '%s' ),
  					array( '%d' )
  				);
  			}

• with:

  				if ( $post_content_filtered !== $post->post_content ) {
  					$this->wpdb->update(
  						$this->wpdb->posts,
  						array( 'post_content' => $post_content_filtered ),
  						array( 'ID' => $post->ID ),
  						array( '%s' ),
  						array( '%d' )
  					);
  				}
  
  				$post_excerpt_filtered = $this->images_updater->replace_images_with_translations(
  					$post->post_excerpt,
  					$post_element->get_language_code(),
  					$post_element->get_source_language_code()
  				);
    
  				if ( $post_excerpt_filtered !== $post->post_excerpt ) {
  					$this->wpdb->update(
  						$this->wpdb->posts,
  						array( 'post_excerpt' => $post_excerpt_filtered ),
  						array( 'ID' => $post->ID ),
  						array( '%s' ),
  						array( '%d' )
  					);
  				}
