Description

Bug Description

This plugin breaks WPML Media Translation when it is active. If you upload a translated image, it won’t appear on the front end. Everything works great when you deactivate Modern Image Formats.
I’ve already contacted WPML support, and they are willing to work with you to fix this bug and certify that this plugin is compatible with WPML.

Steps to reproduce

  • Enable WPML Multilingual CMS and WPML Media Translation
  • Upload an image in original language and add it to a post
  • Translate the post with WPML and publish it
  • Go to WPML > Media Translation
  • Upload the translated image
  • Go to the frontend and visit the translated version of the post you've created before
  • The translated image won't show, it will display the image in the original language

Additional Context

  • PHP Version: 8.2
  • Plugin Version: 2.6.0
