This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client wanted to display only "Français" instead of "Français (French)" for the language in the header and was also unable to see the flags for the respective languages in the header navigation.
Solution:
We recommended the client to revert any changes made to the language translations columns in WPML > Languages > Site Languages > Edit Languages. Then, to customize the menu language switcher, we provided the following steps:
1. Navigate to WPML > Languages > Menu language switcher.
2. Click the pencil icon to edit the language switcher.
3. Enable the flag option.
4. Disable the "Language name in current language" option.
5. Save the changes.
