Translatable image tags

[androbey]

I think it would be a great advantage for images to have an option to translate image tags, alongside the translatable description field (when using PWs language feature at all). 

This feature could improve the multi language support in ProcessWire even further, thus the usability of it. 

As a side effect that would also mean, that image tags could be easily used with the search engine, when dealing with a lot of images.

hi androbey, welcome to the forum.

you might already have an option for what you want:

1. http://processwire.com/api/multi-language-support/multi-language-fields/#language-alternate-fields 
   this would mean you also get different images for different languages, meaning more storage needed but also the option of different images in different languages
2. https://github.com/adrianbj/AutoImagePages
   https://processwire.com/talk/topic/8698-creating-page-for-every-image-uploaded
   this creates a page for every uploaded image meaning you could have 1 image but multiple tags with a regular multilanguage-textfield

Hi bernhard,

thank you for your tips. You're right, using a workaround I could nearly get the desired outcome. 

However, I would say that both solutions come with a huge downside (uploading more images than necessary..) .
