Translation exports already let you scope to a set of products by ID, handle, or tag. Those filters now also narrow the **Media Images** data type, so you can pull alt-text translations just for the images on the products you care about instead of every file on the shop.

### What's New

- **Media image translations follow product filters** - exporting `Media Images` with a product ID, handle, or tag filter returns only the images attached to those products. Variant images are included because Shopify links variant media to the parent product's gallery.
- **Works with the collection handle filter too** - combine `Media Images` with a collection handle to pull translations for every image on every product in that collection.

### Improvements

- **Targeted media exports are dramatically faster** - when a product filter is active, the export fetches translations for just the matching images instead of paging every media file on the shop.
