Problem: The client wants to switch the language switcher to abbreviations instead of full names on mobile devices. Solution: We explained that the language name text is set in WPML > Languages > Edit Languages, and it's not possible to have different texts for the same language switcher. However, we suggested creating two separate language switchers: one displaying languages in their native language and another showing them in the current language. Then, the client could try renaming the languages with abbreviations in WPML > Languages.
We also recommended using flags for mobile and names for larger screens, which would require different language switchers according to the screen size, subject to the theme's capabilities.
