How to show all available images in WP’s media library when using the Polylang plugin?

It seems that depending on which default language I’ve set Polylang to, all my uploaded images are isolated so that I can only pick them when I’m editing posts in the default language.

I have a lot more images shared/in-common between English and French posts than images specific to a single language.

Is there any option to show all images regardless of which language I’m currently editing in WordPress?

It’s very likely I might of just uploaded them in the media library when I was currently editing a post (in which case, maybe it isolates the images to be available only for that particular language & given post?) if so, I may have an entirely different problem on my hands.

Is there a way to simply show ALL assets?

From this post at wordpress.org/support, the user Chrystl points out:

If don’t need to translate your media titles, uncheck this option:

In Languages > Settings tab > Media: “Activate languages and translations for media”.

And you will access to your entire library by clicking on “Add media” and “Set featured image”.

And that indeed did the trick for me! 🙂
