I am using UberMenu as my main menu plugin.

I would like to add the language switcher to the right side (desktop view) menu, where the social icons and basket are (screenshot 1.)

How can I do it?

Hi there.

I don't know how UberMenu works to be honest and there are not many existing tickets about this plugin on our site, but we have some great documentation about how to create language switchers, custom language switcher and also how to display language switchers in custom positions on a site.

I will be sharing the documentation below and I hope that you will find this helpful.

How to create a language switcher:
- https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/

How to create a custom language switcher:
- https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/custom-language-switcher/

How to serve the language switcher in custom positions on the site:
- https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/adding-language-switchers-using-php-and-shortcodes/

This type of work is considered custom work so it falls out of the purpose of our Support Policy but I wanted to do my best to help and share with you the amazing documentation that we have available.

Please let me know how things go.
