How do I change the product image for a different language? (encode)

Store Design

Topic summary

Issue: A user wants to change product images based on the selected language while using Shopify’s Translate & Adapt app.

Key Finding: Translate & Adapt does not natively support changing product images per language—it only handles text translation and can localize images/videos within theme sections.

Recommended Solutions:

  • EZ Product Image Translate — allows assigning specific images to each language and works with Translate & Adapt
  • Taglio PicTranslate — enables selecting different images/videos per language
  • RoMagic AI Image Translator — translates text embedded within images

Alternative Approach: Custom coding can be implemented to upload images for all languages and display them based on the current country/language code.

Note: Heavily customized themes may require developer assistance for proper app integration.

Hi @Shano96 ,

You can refer to some apps below that allow you to change images based on language, or display different images depending on the customer’s selected language:

Notes & limitations

  • Shopify’s Translate & Adapt app supports translating text, as well as localizing images & videos within theme sections (you can use the Localize feature to swap images/videos per language).
  • However, changing product images per language is not a default feature of Translate & Adapt—you will need a supporting app such as EZ Product Image Translate.
  • If your theme has heavy customizations or uses custom Liquid/JS code, you may need a developer’s assistance to ensure the app integrates correctly with your theme.
