Description
Every image on your Joomla site gets a sensible alt text automatically, written into the raw HTML so crawlers and screen readers see it without running any JavaScript. The title attribute works differently, because repeating the alt helps nobody: you get a title only when a caption or link text says something the alt does not already say. Pick where the alt comes from, keep acronyms like NL and FM capitalised, and exclude the images you want left alone.
