 * Hello,
 * Is it possible to disable automatic alt description insertion ? Our website is
   in different language so we using english alts is not really helpful. Also deleting
   each time alt tag is quite a job.
 * Thank you

 * Hi [@wriper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wriper/),
   You would have to 
   use the following hook and remove the meta after upload.

 *     ```wp-block-code
       update_post_meta( $args['attachment_id'], '_wp_attachment_image_alt', '');
       ```
