Problem: 1. The client wanted to know how to move the language switcher to different parts of their website design, either through shortcode or HTML. 2. The client was experiencing an issue where the language selection was not persistent across different pages during a visit, requiring the language to be toggled again with each page click.
Solution: 1. We provided documentation on how to add language switchers to custom locations using PHP and shortcodes. The client can review the instructions here: Adding language switchers using PHP and shortcodes. 2. We asked the client to elaborate on the issue to better understand it. Normally, when a language is switched, for example from English to French, the selection should remain on French and not revert back to English on subsequent page loads. We also provided an example of how the switcher should appear, showcasing the current language.
