Background of the issue:
I am trying to harmonize the language switcher on a set of 'companion' websites. I defined the switcher on hidden link and hidden link to have the same appearance and behavior.

Symptoms:
The language switcher shows different behaviors on two websites. On hidden link, the flag and language name are displayed, but the pull-down does not open. On hidden link, the language name appears first, then the flag, and the pull-down opens regularly.

Questions:
Why does the language switcher behave differently on the two websites?
How can I make the language switcher have the same appearance and behavior on both websites?

Please let me know the results of adding the footer language switcher and also attach a screenshot of the Languages section from the page edit on the original language so I can see the status of the translations for this page. Thanks!
