Problem:
The client is trying to add a flag button for language selection on their website using the Salient theme. They can only get it working in the footer area but not in other places.
Solution:
We recommend adding a language switcher in the top menu by navigating to WPML > Languages > Main Menu Switcher section. From there, you can add a language switcher as explained here: Language Switcher Options.
Additionally, you can add a language switcher anywhere on the site using shortcodes or custom coding. For more details, visit: Adding Language Switchers using PHP and Shortcodes.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. Should you need further assistance, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
