When you create a multilingual WordPress website using Polylang, you may also need to translate image titles, alt text, captions, and descriptions into other languages.
AutoPoly – AI Translation for Polylang helps automate this process with its Media translation setting. When enabled, AutoPoly translates supported media text along with your page and post content. It can also remap in-content media to language-specific attachments when Polylang media support is enabled.
Note: To translate media text using AutoPoly, make sure the Media module is activated under Languages > Settings in Polylang.
