This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client needed help setting up the language selector button on their multilingual website. Specifically, they wanted the language selector to display only the alternative language option (e.g., show 'English' on the Spanish page and 'Español' on the English page) instead of showing the current language.
Solution:
We advised the client to adjust the settings in the WPML plugin to hide the current language from the language selector. Here are the steps to follow:
1. Navigate to WPML > Languages.
2. Go to the 'Menu Language Switcher' section.
3. Click the 'edit' pencil icon.
4. Change the view to 'List of languages' (if it's set to a dropdown, this will need to be changed as only one language will be displayed).
5. Uncheck the 'Current language' checkbox to hide the current language from the menu.
6. Save the changes.
This setup ensures that the language selector only displays the language that the user can switch to, making the site navigation more intuitive.
