This allows you full and independent control over what it includes and how it looks.įor example, the following image displays a dialog box with settings for the footer language switcher. Full Control Over Each Language SwitcherĮach language switcher type has its own settings. Separate sections for each type of a language switcherĮach section has its own button to Add a new language switcher, a Pencil icon to edit the existing switcher, and a Trash icon to delete a language switcher.

When you configure a language switcher, you can see a working preview of it, as displayed in the following image. For example, you can display only flags in the menu, but flags and the language name in the footer. The options you apply to language switchers in each location only apply to that language switcher. You can add language switchers to 3 different places on your site: in the menu, in a widget, or in the footer.

If the language switcher is not displaying right with your theme, there could be a CSS conflict. Language switchers added using WPML look good on most themes. You can also use it to show links above or below your posts, offering them in other languages. WPML lets you add a language switcher in different ways: in a menu, as a widget, or in the site’s footer. A language switcher allows visitors to select the language in which they want to read your content.
