Tell us what you are trying to do?
Only show the language flag of the other language - NOT show the language flag of the current language (In the settings this is an option - seems to be missing in the widget options)

Is there any documentation that you are following?
Just the Widget options (not a lot)

Is there a similar example that we can see?
No

What is the link to your site?
hidden link
(Flags in the header - should only show english when language is italian and vice versa)

Hi,

Thank you for contacting WPML Support. Yes, this option is not available in Elementor widget at the moment and it’s already reported to our developers as you can see here:
https://wpml.org/errata/elementor-its-not-possible-to-fully-customize-wpml-language-switchers-widget/

So, you may follow any of the below step to achieve it:

1. Add a below CSS in custom CSS section to hide the current language: 

.wpml-elementor-ls .wpml-ls-statics-shortcode_actions .wpml-ls-current-language {
   display: none !important;
}

2. Go to WPML >> Languages > Custom language switchers, and enable it. After that please configure the switcher and press the save button.

Then go to Elementor builder and use WPML custom switcher shortcode: 

[wpml_language_selector_widget]

Here is a doc for more details: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/#using-wpml-shortcodes

Please let me know if this resolves your issue or if you need further assistance

Thank you
