Santiago	Hello there, I try to change the switch drop down from hover to click on mobile. I test almost all the solutions I can see on your website but looks like is not working. Looks like many people try this before. Thank you in advance.-

Christopher Amirian Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Yerevan (GMT+04:00)	Hi there, Would you please give us more detailed information on what you want to do? Just to let you know, out of the box, the WPML language switcher in the dropdown mode and uses hover on desktop and on mobile as there is no such a thing as hover, you need to tap on the language to see the dropdown. If I misunderstood something I'd appreciate it if you could give me more details so I can understand the request. Thanks.

Christopher Amirian Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Yerevan (GMT+04:00)	Hi there, I've got the email notification and managed to check your website. The problem that you are experiencing is that your theme is not designed to have a dropdown mode in mobile and that is why even when I deactivate the current language clicking event, it still does not open the dropdown menu. Your theme CSS code overrides whatever WPML has as default and that is why this is happening for you. If you change the theme to the default theme of WordPress you will see that it is working ok. As you seem to have an option on your theme to have separate menu items for mobile, I suggest that you enable the Custom Language switcher option from WPML > Languages And set it to be linear and not dropdown. Then you can use the shortcode below to add it to the mobile menu: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/#using-wpml-shortcodes It will not be a dropdown but at least it will list the languages. Thank you.
