Split: how to add a site logo with different language for different languages of site

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Some themes let you set logos via theme options or the WordPress Customizer. To add different site logos for the different languages of your site, you need to tell your theme which logo to display in each language.

To do this, get the IDs of the logos you want to use in your default and secondary languages from Media > Library.
Then, go to WPML > String Translation and search for the default language ID.
If you can't find it, click on the Translate texts in admin screens and add the string to the String Translation table. Add the secondary language ID as the translation.

For more, see the page about translating theme options like logos, footers, headers, and more.

This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.

serhiiK-7	How to add a site logo with different language for different languages of site. This is the only one thing I haven't figured out yet. WPML Media Translation didn't see it. Sincerely, Serhii

Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi there. Please use the guide here (https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/) and search either for the name of your logo image (кинотерапия-1) or by your media ID (you should be able to see it in the URL at the top when you open it in WordPress backend > Media - it should be an id made out of a few numbers). Depending on how the theme is written, you have to translate either the link of the image or the ID (use the id of the image that has the logo translated already). Please let me know how that goes. Kind regards, Mihai Apetrei

serhiiK-7	The problem is not with the text, but with the image. It is not possible to do this with the logo image. Anyway. WPML media don't see it too.

Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi there and welcome back. I was referring to the image also, not to the text. I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. The information you will enter is private which means only you and I can see and have access to it. Our Debugging Procedures I will be checking various settings in the backend to see if the issue can be resolved. Although I won't be making changes that affect the live site, it is still good practice to backup the site before providing us access. In the event that we do need to debug the site further, I will duplicate the site and work in a separate, local development environment to avoid affecting the live site. Privacy and Security Policy We have strict policies regarding privacy and access to your information. Please see: https://wpml.org/purchase/support-policy/privacy-and-security-when-providing-debug-information-for-support/ IMPORTANT - Please make a backup of the site files and database before providing us access. - If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields this means your post & website login details will be made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details unless you see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, please ask me to enable the private box. The private box looks like this: hidden link I will be waiting for your response. Kind regards, Mihai Apetrei

serhiiK-7	Hi, Mihai It helped me: "search either for the name of your logo image (кинотерапия-1) or by your media ID (you should be able to see it in the URL at the top when you open it in WordPress backend > Media - it should be an id made out of a few numbers)." I found media ID and changed it. All work. So I mark this issue as solved. Thank you!
