Problem:
You are developing a site and want to add an icon as the first item in the language switcher menu using WPML, but could not find documentation related to this.
Solution:
We recommend creating your own language switcher using PHP to customize the flag image or add an icon. You can find detailed guidance on how to do this in our documentation:

• Custom Language Switcher
• Language Switcher Options
• Adding Language Switchers using PHP and Shortcodes

Please note that implementing a custom icon might require specific coding, which is beyond the scope of our support forum. If the provided documentation does not fully resolve your issue or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your specific case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
