Hi,

Thank you for contacting WPML Support. The possibility of adding a language switcher to that position depends on your theme. Does your theme provide you the option to add content (for example a widget) or some code exactly on the position that you wish. If yes, then please follow the below steps:

1. If you can add the widget to that section, please go to WPML >> Languages > Widget language switcher and add the language to that widget area.

Here is a doc for more details:
https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/#add-language-switcher-menu

2. If you can add code/shortcode to that section, please go to WPML >> Languages > Custom language switcher and customise it according to your needs then please use the below shortcode in header template to display language switcher on a specific position:

[wpml_disabled_selector_widget]

Here are doc for more details:
https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/custom-language-switcher/#the-settings-part

3. You may use some CSS to add some margins from the left side.

Please let me know if this resolves your issue or if you need further assistance.

If the issue persists, please add the debug report in the Debug Information box. I have also enabled debug info box for your next reply: https://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/

Thank you
