This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client is trying to replace the flags with text labels (NO and EN) in the language switcher at the top left corner of their site, but is unable to do so.
Solution:
We explained that the language switchers displayed are controlled by the AVIA builder within the Enfold theme, not directly by WPML. We suggested checking with the Enfold theme support team if there is an option to display language names instead of flags. The support link for Enfold is https://kriesi.at/support/.
Additionally, if the client prefers to use a WPML-based language switcher, they can implement this using shortcodes or PHP code. We provided documentation on how to add language switchers using PHP and shortcodes, which can be found here: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/adding-language-switchers-using-php-and-shortcodes/#language-switcher-shortcodes.
If this solution does not apply because it might be outdated or not relevant to your case, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. For further assistance, please visit our support forum at WPML support forum.

I am very hard trying, also after reading similar issues on your forum to replace the flags in the top left corner with text (NO and EN), but nothing seems to remove the flags. Can you help me?  |

Hi there. Of course, I am happy to help. The switchers that you have at the top of your site are not served by WPML directly but by the AVIA builder that comes with the Enfold theme. I'm attaching a screenshot below so that you can see the code of that content part and you will see it is AVIA-related. You will see multiple "avia" words in there. I am not sure if avia builder or the enfold theme has the possibility to show the language names instead of the language flags, I would recommend that you check this with their support team here: If they have an option to show the language names instead of the flags, then you can also go to WPML > Languages > Edit languages > and change the name of the languages to the short form that you mentioned, so that it will show that naming. On the other hand, if you would prefer to serve language switcher that come directly from WPML, you can use shortcodes or php code to display them anywhere you want on your site. Here is the documentation for that: I hope that you will find this information helpful. 🙂 Please let me know how things go. Mihai Apetrei  |
