## Important Note

This userstyle _only_ works if your Twitter UI language is set to English.
Images without alt-text are given a placeholder alt-text of "Image" by Twitter, but this is localized if you're using Twitter in a different language.
Configuration needed if your Twitter UI language isn't set to English.

However, it should be possible to adapt the style by finding out what the localized placeholder is for your language, and replacing all instances of "Image" in the CSS with that.
Images without alt-text are given a placeholder alt-text of "Image" by Twitter,
but this is localized if you're using Twitter in a different language.
For example, the placeholder becomes "Immagine" in Italian, or "圖片" in Traditional Chinese.
As a result, you should set the "alt-text placeholder" to the one in your language, for this style to work.
