nicklasL-3	Background of the issue: I am developing a site and I would like to remove several languages from the language switcher. However, I do not want to hide these languages from the front-end or from Google. I couldn't find any documentation to follow. Symptoms: N/A Questions: How can I remove specific languages from the language switcher in WPML without hiding them from the front-end or from Google?

Andrey Supporter Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+03:00)	There is no option in the WPML settings to hide a language from the language switcher only. However, you can hide a language on the front end and the language switcher as well by going to the WPML → Languages page and selecting the languages you want to hide in the "Hide Languages" section. After choosing the languages, remember to click the Save button. https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/hiding-languages-on-the-front-end/ Alternatively, you can attempt to achieve this by using custom CSS.
