Ok there is another issue with a patch: ✨ Media items translate items in modal Postponed Marking this one as a duplicate.
On a site with Content Translation enabled, Media entities will typically be translated. This is because alt and title texts for images need to be translated, and also because the media file itself may need to be different across languages, such as images that include text or videos that contain speech.
In such a set-up, the reference fields on content that point to media are not set to be translated: all the language versions of one node refer to the same media entity, which itself has translations. So when looking at the German version of a node, you see the German version of the image; look at the French version of the node and you see the French version of the same image.
The workflow for translating media entities when using the Media Library to attach media to content appears to be this:
1. Edit or create a node
2. Open the media library to create media
3. In the media library pop-up, add a new media entity. There's no possibility of translating it here.
4. Save the media entity and save the node
5. Add a translation to the node
6. The media field isn't shown in the node translation edit form, because the media field isn't itself translatable. So you don't have anything that lets you translated the media here
7. The only thing AFAICT is to now go to Admin > Content > Media, look in the list for the media entity that you created, and edit it.
Could the UX for this task be improved?

Makes Drupal easier to use. Preferred over UX, D7UX, etc.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
