Weglot and Media links from Webflow

I am using Weglot to translate a website built in Webflow. I ran into an issue, when trying to translate the Media (Images with text or not on them) Weglot does not seem to change the images from one Language to the other. It seems Weblot cannot use the URL that Webflow generates when you uploading your images to webflow.

For example:

EN

https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5ede9f73e50e6b1f62c4b864/5efa6ab23c41033e6c3df78b_Homepage2.png

FR

https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5ede9f73e50e6b1f62c4b864/5f9f09b9612fe2e1a9f232f3_Homepage2-translated.png

Both URLs resolve accordingly in a browser but they don’t render after you add them as “media translations” in Weglot. The only way that seems to work is to change the “image” element for an Embedded HTML element and adding an image tag in there.

That solution of swapping your image elements is not ideal for elements like a slider.

Has anyone experienced this problem before?

Edited, I found in a Weglot article this small not at the end of the article.

If it’s not the case, make sure that your image is generated with an src data attribute and that you don’t have a Lazyloading system on your website.

Thank you,

Hi @Francisco_Carreon ,

I’m having exactly the same issue with a lighbox gallery.
I’ve followed all Weglot steps and changed the URL for each image translation.
Sadly the changes are not visible.

As I want a gallery to open and display the images on a lightbox, the HTML solution also doesn’t work for me.

Any idea on how to translate an image with text within a lightbox is very much appreciated.

This topic is two years old, and I was running also in that problem. Anyone knows finally how to fix that?

Here is a workaround documented: WEGLOT image problem - #4 by komal
Although, a native solution from Weglot and Webflow would be highly requested.

Hi, Weglot support here. Really sorry for the late reply.
Do you still need help regarding the media translation with Weglot?
Note that some improvements have been made with the media translation process recently.
You should be able to proceed to the media translation by using the Visual Editor, the tool that allows you to edit your translation in context (here > https://dashboard.weglot.com/translations/visual-editor/home).
I’m pleased to send you below the media translation documentation

Have a great day,

Hi @MaxFromWeglot , is there also a way to change youtube links in lightboxes for each language?
At the moment we have to use a workaround where we have several lightboxes and only show the one for the current language.
