Problem: The client wanted to create a language switcher similar to the one on a reference site, using Elementor and WPML, with a combo box that includes language flags. Solution: We reviewed the client's theme and WPML settings and made some adjustments. We informed the client that while we could get close to the desired result, some aspects of the reference site's language switcher were achieved with custom definitions outside of WPML, such as custom CSS and custom flags. We provided screenshots of the settings we adjusted and noted that the width is defined via Elementor, allowing for further modifications by the client. We also provided a link to documentation on how to use custom CSS with WPML's language switcher: Custom Language Switcher documentation.
We explained that achieving the exact desired result might not be possible using only WPML's Language Switcher settings and apologized for any inconvenience.
If this solution does not fully resolve your issue or seems outdated, we recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If you still need assistance, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket: WPML support forum.
