 * hI THERE, It worked perfectly till recent days — now I rename one english file,
   one french, one german and one spanish, and all seems good. But as I refresh 
   the media Library page I see that all 4 files are renamed on spanish. Or german.
   Or English — depending on the plugin mood, as I can assume. But never properly
   correct (not anymore).
 * Here an evidence : [https://prooftag.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2022-07-12-15_31_00-Media-Library-‹-Prooftag-—-WordPress.jpg](https://prooftag.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2022-07-12-15_31_00-Media-Library-‹-Prooftag-—-WordPress.jpg)
 * What’s wrong? Deactivation-actvation didn’t help. Please assist.
    Thanks, Erica

 * Hi [@pamplemuss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pamplemuss/),
 * Normally, translation plugins (I guess you are using WPML or Polylang) use different
   Media Entries pointing to the **same** file. So if you try to rename the file
   from a translation perspective, it will indeed rename it, and it will never end
   🙂
 * Just to make sure, upload a new file, don’t rename it. Check the translations
   of the same Media entry. Check the filename. It’s probably the same one.
