Can TranslatePress translate images directly from the translation interface

Here's how you can translate images using TranslatePress:

1. Accessing the Translation Interface: After installing and activating TranslatePress, you can access the translation interface by clicking on the "Translate Site" button in the admin bar. This opens a front-end visual translation editor where you can see your website content and translate it in real-time.

2. Selecting Images for Translation: To translate an image, simply hover over it and click the pencil icon. Alternatively, you can select the image by name from the dropdown list under the "Images" option group in the sidebar.

3. Uploading or Selecting Translated Images: Once you've selected an image, you can use the "Add Media" button in the sidebar to upload a new image or select one from your Media Library. You can also enter the URL of the translated image if it's hosted elsewhere.

4. Translating Meta Information: Besides changing the image source, TranslatePress also allows you to translate associated meta information such as the alt attribute and title attribute. This is important for SEO purposes, as translating alt text can improve search engine rankings in multiple languages.

5. Handling Linked Images: If an image contains a link, TranslatePress will detect this and allow you to modify the link based on the language. This means you can have different versions of an image linking to different external URLs or pages in different languages.

6. Saving Translations: After making your changes, click "Save Translation" to apply them. This will ensure that different versions of the image appear for each language on your website.

Overall, TranslatePress provides a straightforward and intuitive way to manage image translations directly from the front-end, making it easier to maintain a multilingual website with localized content.

Here’s how you can do it:

1. Accessing the Translation Interface: Start by accessing the TranslatePress translation interface. You can do this by clicking on the "Translate Site" button in the admin bar of your WordPress site.

2. Selecting the Image: Once in the translation interface, hover over the image you want to translate. You should see a pencil icon appear. Click on this icon to open the image translation options.

3. Translating Alt and Title Attributes: In the sidebar, you will see options to translate the alt and title attributes separately. You can enter different translations for each attribute based on the language you are translating into.
