Marcel Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+02:00)	Hi, Thank you for contacting WPML Support. other pages : the do_action('wpml_add_language_selector') is working well ex : hidden link I can't open the example to compare it. Can you please check this? Does the course page have a translation saved with 100%? Best Regards Marcel

Marcel Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+02:00)	I'm sorry, I don't understand what is the issue then? If you don't want to use a translation plugin on a specific post type (Courses), why the post type should show the language switcher if the translated content does not exist? Could you please describe your issue more detailed, If I understand something wrong? Thanks Best Regards Marcel

Marcel Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+02:00)	Thanks for the info. so the language switcher is activated only if there is translated page or post for the page ? Yes, but you can try to choose here "Link to home of language for missing translation". Does this make a difference? Doc: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/#global-language-switcher-options Or you can handle it as described here: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/show-language-switcher-even-if-post-has-no-translation/#post-1330914 Best Regards Marcel
