Basically, we can manage English comments fine, just not the 2nd language Dutch. Apart from that, this is all we really need to do in wp-admin on mobile. Unless, you know another way to manage multi-language comments on mobile?

Please see 2 attached images showing what I see on both mobile and desktop. There is no language switcher in wp-admin on mobile, not even in the hamburger menu.

Hello,

WordPress hides any additional menus on the mobile screen to make it more clear. You can override it by adding some WP Admin CSS, for example:

#wp-admin-bar-WPML_ALS {
	display: block!important;
}

Please note we do not support, maintain, or provide any custom code. The code shared above is just an example to help out.

Regards,
Drazen

Thanks, that worked perfectly. Problem solved.

With that said, I did have to install yet another plugin (Admin CSS MU) to run this css in wp-admin, but it works. I appreciate WordPress trying to keep the mobile view clean, but if we can't perform such simple things in wp-admin on mobile, there is not much point in having a mobile view at all. Or, they could at least offer options to select what the user may or may not want in mobile. Perhaps you (WPML) have a channel of communication open with the WP core team and you can suggest this to them.

So again, many thanks, even though this wasn't a WPML problem. At least now I can actually use WPML on-the-go 😉

I'm trying to close this ticket, but clicking on the blue submit button does nothing.

See image attached. That submit button doesn't seem to work, but I can respond in the ticket with the red submit button.
