truongD-3	Background of the issue: I'm doing SEO and accessibility scans on our site, and I noticed missing alt tags on the widget flag images. Symptoms: I expected to see alt tags in the flag images in the language-picker-widget, but instead, I got no alt tags. Questions: Can you add alt tags to the flagimages in a future release, please? The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link

Andrey WPML Supporter since 06/2013 Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+03:00)	Thank you for contacting WPML support. The missing ALT attribute on the flag images in the Language Switcher isn’t a bug—it’s by design. For a more detailed explanation, and if you still need to add ALT text, please check the following link: https://wpml.org/errata/missing-alt-tag-for-flag-image-in-a-language-switcher/
