The client wanted to customize the language bar to display only 'English' with a flag and 'العربية' with the UAE flag, without any brackets or additional text.

We advised the client to use the \'Language name in current language\' option available in the WPML settings. This can be accessed by navigating to WP Admin -> WPML -> Languages -> Menu language switcher and clicking the pencil icon to make the desired adjustments. For further customization options, we recommended checking the related documentation: <a href=\'https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/#add-a-language-switcher-to-a-menu-footer-or-widget\'>Language Switcher Options</a>. If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your specific case, please open a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking related known issues at <a href=\'https://wpml.org/known-issues/\'>https://wpml.org/known-issues/</a>, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. For further assistance, you can visit our support forum at <a href=\'https://wpml.org/forums/forum/english-support/\'>WPML Support Forum</a>.

Waqar Ali	Hi, Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist. To troubleshoot both these points, I'll need to see how WPML's language and media management options are configured in the admin area. Can you please share the temporary admin login details of the website, along with: a). Screenshot showing the language bar with (العربية) from where you'd like to remove the brackets. b). Link to an example Arabic product page where product images are not showing. Note: Your next reply will be private and making a complete backup copy is recommended before sharing the access details. regards, Waqar

Waqar Ali	Thank you for sharing the access details. > a-First for the language bar, I just want to display English and the flag beside it, العربية and the UAE flag beside it. THATS IT! as simple as that. Can you help me make it from your side and let me know once done? - You'll find an option 'Language name in current language' for this at WP Admin -> WPML -> Languages -> Menu language switcher and by clicking the pencil icon. ( screenshot attached ) Related Documentation: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/#add-a-language-switcher-to-a-menu-footer-or-widget As for your other questions, I've created separate tickets for them and will follow up on them, individually.
