This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
You need to change the image source (src) on a fixed banner loaded with a custom plugin, with a different image per language.
Solution:
1. Update your plugin with the following code:
$image_default = plugin_dir_url(__FILE__) . 'cmd_jobs/config/svs_Fixed_ban4_EL.jpg';<br /><br />/* Register image URL for translation */<br />do_action(<br /> 'wpml_register_single_string',<br /> 'svs-plugin',<br /> 'banner_image_url',<br /> $image_default<br />);<br /><br />/* Retrieve translated image URL */<br />$svs_image_Banner = apply_filters(<br /> 'wpml_translate_single_string',<br /> $image_default,<br /> 'svs-plugin',<br /> 'banner_image_url'<br />);
2. Navigate to WPML >> Theme and plugins localization, select your plugin, and press the “Scan selected components for strings” button.
3. Go to WPML >> String Translation.
4. Translate the 'banner_image_url' string by replacing it with the image URL for each language (e.g., EN image URL).
This approach allows WPML to load a different image URL per language without hardcoding multiple variables.

Hi, Thank you for contacting WPML Support. If the image is added via the plugin’s options page, you should be able to translate it by following the below steps: 1. Go to WPML >> String Translation Here is a doc for more details: If the image URL is hardcoded in the plugin code, it needs to be wrapped in a gettext function. After that, it will appear in WPML >> String Translation and you can translate it per language. For example, use `__( 'image url, 'text-domain' )` and this will make the URL appear in WPML >> String Translation. Here’s more information about the gettext function: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/how-to-use-gettext/ Kindly let me know how the image is added (via plugin settings or hardcoded in the plugin), so we can proceed accordingly. Thank you  |

Thanks for the additional details. Could you please try to follow the below steps: 1. Update the plugin as follows:
$image_default = plugin_dir_url(__FILE__) . 'cmd_jobs/config/svs_Fixed_ban4_EL.jpg';
/* Register image URL for translation */
do_action(
'wpml_register_single_string',
'svs-plugin',
'banner_image_url',
$image_default
);
/* Retrieve translated image URL */
$svs_image_Banner = apply_filters(
'wpml_translate_single_string',
$image_default,
'svs-plugin',
'banner_image_url'
);
2. Go to WPML >> Theme and plugins localization page, select your plugin and press the “Scan selected components for strings” button. This way, WPML will load a different image URL per language without hardcoding multiple variables. Here are docs for more details. I tested it at my test site and it works correctly. Could you please try and let me know how it goes. Thank you    |
