korean image file name

    Is there any way to keep image file name in Korean?
    My image file names are Korean, but after I download them image names are changed arbitrarily in English.

  • Hi –

    I want to be sure that I understand the question. The file has a Korean file name on your computer but it’s changing to English once you upload it on the site’s media library?

    Is this happening on knameinfo.wordpress.com or naagada.wordpress.com.

    Yes, it is.
    It happens on naagada.wordpress.com

    I uploaded images on naagada.wordpress.com/1950-1960

    For example, my first picture’s original file name is
    “BK0071_1952년 대구 길거리 도랑에서 흙장난하는 아이들5”
    It is information about this picture and it says “1952 kids playing with muds on Daegu road.

    However, after I download image file and the name changes to
    “bk0071_1952eb8584-eb8c80eab5ac-eab8b8eab1b0eba6ac-eb8f84eb9e91ec9790ec849c-ed9d99ec9ea5eb829ced9598eb8a94-ec9584ec9db4eb93a45-1”

    I want to share my image file with visitors and give them right information about picture. Can you help me please?

  • I’m afraid you won’t be able to do anything with that so, I’d suggest changing the name of the file itself (before uploading it) to just a number and then adding all the important data into the image in the media library. You’ll be able to add the title, description and alternative text while keeping a short and easy URL.
    I hope that helps :)

    Thanks.
    I had a same idea with you but I want to find more convenient way.
    I have lots of picture files.
    If images can keep original file name, it would be much more convenient.
    Whenever people want to know about images, they can just check their file name.
    No need to visit my website again and find where the image descriptions are.
    Isn’t there any way?

  • That is not possible, no.

    Our system automatically converts file names with non-Latin characters when the file is uploaded, and there’s no way to prevent this from happening for specific sites.
