You can customise the language names on language switcher by following the below steps: 1. Go to the WPML >> Languages page. 2. Click on the Edit Languages link as you can see in the attached screenshot. 3. Add En, Fr, and Es in Translation text boxes as you can see in the attached screenshot. 4. Press the Save button. 5. Clear all sorts of site/server/CDN cache. Please let me know if this resolves the issue or if you need further assistance with this issue. Thank you
