Hi,

I need your help to place the 'EN' and 'PT' initial languages on top of Porto's floating menu, also for desktop and mobiles.

Website still in development.

Hi there.

This is a pretty custom request (it falls out of the purpose of our Support Policy) and it might require a developer or a WPML contractor if you don't know how to implement it (I will share the documentation and try to explain a bit):
https://wpml.org/contractors/

You can use PHP to display a language switcher anywhere you want on the site and it will need to be added in the theme's code.

We have some amazing documentation here:
https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/adding-language-switchers-using-php-and-shortcodes/

To set the language name to show the abbreviated version, just do what my colleague recommended here:
https://wpml.org/forums/topic/abbreviate-languages-on-the-switcher/

I hope that you will find this information helpful 🙂

Kind regards,
Mihai Apetrei
