Marco	We currently have one WPML language hidden, because it's not ready for production. We're using WooCommerce and our Shop Manager (profile) users need to be able to manage products in that hidden language, but the admin bar switcher does NOT show that language, neither they have the option to see that language on their user profile, as they're shop managers and not administrators. As you can see on the attached screenshots, admins can see "Espanhol" but shop managers can't, and we need them to.

Faisal Ahammad	Hi, Good afternoon! We apologize for any inconvenience caused. You can go to the profile edit page to enable the hidden language for the shop manager. This will be visible to them immediately. For a better understanding, please refer to the screenshot: hidden link If you would like to understand better how to hide languages on the front end, please refer to our article here: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/hiding-languages-on-the-front-end/ I have noticed that you are using an outdated version of the WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency plugin. To ensure optimal performance and compatibility, we strongly recommend updating to version 5.1.0. This version includes numerous improvements and bug fixes, so updating as soon as possible is highly recommended. You can find the changelog here: https://wpml.org/download/woocommerce-multilingual-multicurrency/?section=changelog Thank you for your time, and I hope this information is helpful.
