Problem:
The client is building a website and wants to display two different language switchers in different formats: one with language codes (EN | FR | DE) and another with full language names (English | French | German).
Solution:
We recommend using PHP actions to output custom language switchers in different formats. For the language codes, you can add a function to your theme's functions.php file and call it wherever you need it. Here's an example code snippet to display language codes:

function test_ls() {
    global $sitepress;
    $testls = $sitepress->get_ls_languages();

    foreach ( $testls as $lng ) {
        echo("<a href=" . $lng["url"] . ">" . strtoupper( $lng['code'] ) . "</a>");
        echo ("|");
    }
}

test_ls();

For full language names, you can use the existing options in WPML -> Languages to create one language switcher and style it as needed. For more information on customizing language switchers, you can refer to the following documentation:

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

Please note that custom coding is beyond the scope of our support. For further assistance, you can refer to the WPML hooks documentation:

• wpml_post_language_details
• WPML Hooks Reference
