Problem: You are experiencing style issues with the language switcher on mobile devices. Solution: We have determined that the problem might not be directly related to WPML or the language switcher itself, but rather to how your current theme handles dropdown items in mobile view. We recommend trying one of the following solutions: 1. Change the language switcher style to a horizontal list and disable the display of the current language to save space. 2. If your theme supports it, consider creating a separate header for mobile devices that allows for better customization of elements specifically for mobile users.

Problem: The client reported style issues on the RU and UZ pages of their website, specifically with the 'Certifications' and 'Contact Us' blocks. Solution: We identified that the theme styles were not copied over to the translations, causing the display issues. Here's how we fixed it: 1. Navigate to WPML → Settings → Custom Fields Translation and activate the option labeled "Show 'Multilingual Content Setup' meta box on post edit screen." 2. Go to the home page of the original content. 3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Show system fields." 4. Identify the custom fields associated with your theme that may contain the layout settings and set them to "Copy." 5. Make a slight modification to the original page and save your changes. 6. Access the WPML translation editor and complete the translation. For more details on translating custom fields, visit https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-custom-fields/.

Problem: If you're experiencing an incorrect display of the language switcher on the mobile version of your site, where language names appear in the '+' column of the menu, this might be due to the theme CSS overriding the WPML plugin CSS.

This should help resolve the issue by ensuring the WPML plugin CSS is applied correctly.
