The menu items in the footer nav are evenly spaced out across the width of the page. This is causing the language switcher items of English and 简体中文 (Chinese (Simplified)) to be spaced out as well. How can I get the two language switcher names to sit side by side?

Hi there.

This behavior is happening due to the way the site is currently coded (there's probably CSS code that spaces the menu items as you explained and that would need to be overwritten in order to have the languages side by side - there is also the chance that they might not look too good aesthetically if the first items are spaced like in your screenshot and the last 2 ones are one next to each other, there will be an empty space remaining on the right as far as I understand).

This requires custom coding to accomplish and falls out of the purpose of our Support Policy.

You will need a front-end developer or a WPML contractor to accomplish this.
