Wpml-is-native string

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
I am trying to change the language names displayed in the language switcher, like showing USA instead of English.

Solution:
You can achieve this by editing the values of the "Translation" column in WPML > Languages > Edit Languages (Please check the attached screenshot).

Kindly note that those changes will be applied to all the language switchers on your site.

Mohamed Sayed	Hi, Those fields are used to create the translation of language names in other languages. This doesn't affect the site's URLs, so it shouldn't cause any 404 errors. Please check here for more details: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/editing-wpmls-languages-table/#language-configuration-fields-defined But you can always create a full backup before making any changes to the site, so you can revert the changes you made if needed.
