Ankit	Hi, Thanks for details. The original issue of this thread is regarding language switcher on top-right hand side of the page, could you please open a new thread in support forum for any other issues you are experiencing like currency switcher etc. It is always recommended to stick to one topic per thread, in this way other users with the same issue finds solution to their problems more quickly and efficiently. Hope you understand. I'm checking the site and I can see only flags in switcher. Could you please let me know where I can see the problem you mentioned in your first message?

mohamedl	yeah but as you can see, theres no drop menu, its not looking good at all and even when i select the dropdown menu with flags and names its the same design, i want something simple like hidden link instead of the letters, i just want the flag, and ill add the currency switcher on another thread thanks a lot Screen Shot 2017-03-28 at 09.46.29.jpg

Ankit	Hi, Glad to know that the issue is resolved for you. 🙂 Go to wpml > Language switcher options > Backwards compatibility and uncheck "Skip backwards compatibility" checkbox. Once it is auto-saved, issue is sorted. I hope this clears the procedure. Regards, Ankit
