alejandroR-30	Tell us what you are trying to do? We already have one custom switcher, which we add to the desktop header (not in the nav menu) using a shortcode. We want to create a separate custom floating switcher with unique styling for tablet/mobile view. Is there any documentation that you are following? Is there a similar example that we can see? What is the link to your site? hidden link

Actually, there is only one global setting for the custom language switcher: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/custom-language-switcher/ If you need a different layout for two custom language switchers, then you need to try to adapt the shortcode: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/wpml-coding-api/shortcodes/#wpml_language_switcher But please bear in mind that you can not change between the 'Dropdown' or 'List' styles with this shortcode, as this is a global setting. Furthermore, to achieve what you are expecting, it would be necessary to do some sort of code customization, and unfortunately it is not covered by our support policy: https://wpml.org/purchase/support-policy/ We recommend that you consult our experienced WordPress Developers with WPML knowledge: https://wpml.org/contractors/ Best regards, Mateus.
