jacobL-8	I would like to change the font size of the menu language switcher text. As it is now, it adapts the font size of the menu items, but I would like the language switcher font to be a lot smaller. I am using The7 WP-theme. I tried searching on the forums and I saw that others had similar questions. I then tried implementing some of the CSS that was suggested but that did not work for me. I currently do not have the menu language switcher enabled because the text is too large. That's why you don't see it on my site.

Can you please add the following CSS in your theme’s or child theme style.css file OR Custom CSS section of the theme: .wpml-ls-item a { font-size: 12px !important; } And let me know how it goes? If still issue persists, please enable menu language switcher and let me know and I’ll provide you the correct CSS solution. Looking forward, Thank you

jacobL-8	Hi I've tried adding the CSS to my themes style.css and to the plugin custom css, however it does not have any effect at all either way. I have enabled the menu language switcher on my site so that you can see it.

Noman Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Karachi (GMT+05:00)	I have visited your site and I can see the small font size as compared to menu items font size as you can see in the attached screenshot. Could you please clear your browser cache and take another look on it and let me know how it goes. Thank you small fonts.png

jacobL-8	Hi again It's because I found out that my theme has an build-in option to add micro-widgets to the menu and there is an option to add WPML language switcher. So, I just added that which works fine. However, I cannot customize the text. I would like it to have a different color and font-type and for some reason it says "English (English)", I would like it to just say one word. Like... "Danish" / "English". I hope you can help. Thanks!

Noman Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Karachi (GMT+05:00)	1. You can use the below code for changing the text color and font family of language switcher text: .wpml-ls-legacy-list-horizontal a { color: #000 !important; font-family: Arial !important; } You can modify color code (#000) and font family name (Arial) according to your needs. 2. You can display one word by unchecking ‘Language name in current language’ checkbox from WPML >> Languages > Custom language switchers > Customize as you can see in the attached screenshots. Please let me know if this resolves your issue or you need further assistance with this issue. Thank you uncheck this checkbox.png font type and color.png edit language switcher options.png

jacobL-8	That works perfectly thank you so much. One last thing: is it possible to make the language switcher text say "DK" and "UK" instead of Danish and English?
