  • Hello,

    We apologize for the inconvenience you’re experiencing. Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern about the image ALT text error on your multilingual website and commerce pages.

    Based on your description, it seems that you are trying to use the same image for both the English and Romanian versions of your pages and have requested our plugin to complete the ALT from the keywords of the page to avoid uploading the same picture twice.

    While this approach is understandable, it’s important to note that search engines and screen readers rely on the ALT text to understand the content of an image. Therefore, it’s recommended to provide unique ALT text for each image, even if they are the same image used across different language pages.

    However, if you’d like to avoid uploading the same picture twice, you can consider using a different approach. For example, you could use a single image and provide unique ALT text for each language version of the page. This way, you can ensure that search engines and screen readers can understand the content of the image in each language.

    If you’re still encountering the error after following this approach, please let us know, and we’ll be happy to assist you further.

    Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

    You’re right.
    And so I wanted to make it dynamic according to the keywords of the page.
    That way I can upload one picture. And its ALT will be according to the keywords for that specific language and page…
    But it doesn’t happen.
    Thanks for the help

    How can we do that?
    And can it be done dynamically?
