Review whether present alt descriptions accurately communicate each informative image in the language of the page.
Check your websiteWhy this check matters
An alt attribute can exist and still be misleading, generic, duplicated, or written in a language the page audience does not understand.

<html lang="en"><img src="portfolio.png" alt="Mobile banking dashboard showing monthly spending" /></html>Common failing evidence
<html lang="en"><img src="portfolio.png" alt="pangaäpi töölaua kujundus" /></html>Possible false positives
- Brand names and product names can remain untranslated.
- Decorative images correctly use alt="" and need no description.
How to fix it safely
- Review each image in its surrounding content.
- Write concise descriptions in the page language for informative images.
- Remove filenames, generic filler, and repeated nearby captions.
How to verify the fix
- Read every non-empty alt value without viewing the image and confirm it conveys the same purpose.
- Check localized routes separately so their descriptions match the declared page language.
