Do you (or they) have a vector of this so you can remove the background? If not, you might have to re-draw it.

Oracal has a transparent permanent adhesive media (3651G). Not sure if it's compatible with your printer though. We've used it in the past and it worked well.

Call your supplier and ask what they recommend for the job. There are many types of translucent just like regular vinyl. Pretty much every major brand has translucent options.

if by transluscent, you mean clear with image printed on it, you would need the ability to print white.
if white transluscent is good-enough, as your printer only uses CMYK, then go with any eco-solvent receptive transluscent white vinyl recommended by your supplier.

We use Oracal 3651 clear.

As already mentionedm, you will need white ink capabilities in order to prime behind the image so that it doesn't get washed out - unless decals will be applied to white surfaces only.

If your client has only given you a pixel image to work with, perhaps because they created the art in a program like Canva, they have created extra work for you.
You should charge them for the extra time required to make this image usable. You could create a clip to remove the black, but it may not be perfect. And is the resolution any good in the first place?
You could ask for a vector image, but chances are they gave you all they had.

Or you can bite the bullet and re-create as a vector, explaining that there will be an art charge because the artwork is unsuitable.

Then, keep your time and charge for it.
Don't feel sorry for them. If they want to be a designer, they need to pay the price.
