The title says it all: Multiple languages what to do with title tags alt tags etc. I found a similar questions but the answer was not exactly what I was hoping for.

Situation:

1 WordPress installation (MultiSite, sub-dirctories). Every site has the name of the language (i.e. the English site is called 'English', German site 'German' etc) and I use a small PHP script to get the site name and call some variables like lang="en". Now my static content like my logo, phone icon, mail icon etc have alt tag in English (that is the main language), but now I am wondering if this has to change depending on the language.

The content filled in WordPress like pictures will be uploaded separated because it is a multisite. I can change these in WordPress self, so it is pure the static images.

TL;DR: Do I have to have my static images have alt / title tags in the language of the content or is this not important (i.e. can my German site have English alt tags)?

Alt attributes are essentially to tell users what an image is about, so if you have the rest of your content localized, it would make sense to localize those too.
