When a post contains images and a user switches language, the translated version shows text only — images are not rendered. Switching back to original language restores images.

This issue appeared after switching translation model from OpenAI to Mistral. Images were showing correctly with OpenAI.

**Steps to reproduce:**

1. Set Mistral as translation model

2. Create a post with an image

3. Switch language via the toggle

4. Images disappear in translated version
