Hello there,
Looks like the next code can be a better solution to avoid the errors.
Basically using the language of the current page for language_code and code.
Does that make sense to you?
Thank you again.-

function custom_language_switcher_links( $languages ) {

    $languages['external'] = array(
        'url' => '<em><u>hidden link</u></em>',
        'native_name' => 'International site',
        'translated_name' => 'International site',
        'country_flag_url' => 'https://cdn.wpml.org/wp-content/uploads/flags/flag-global.svg',
        'language_code' => ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE,
        'code' => ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE
    );
    return $languages;
}
add_filter( 'icl_ls_languages', 'custom_language_switcher_links' );

Hello,

thanks for getting back.

At first sight looks okay, if you can make it open in a new tab then I think it should be fine. I also advise testing further to make sure it functions fine on other pages also.

Regards,
Drazen
