Problem:
The client needs to add an ALT attribute to the language flag icons.
Solution:
We recommended the steps provided in a previously resolved support ticket. Before proceeding, ensure to perform a full site backup.

Got to ../wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/classes/language-switcher/ directory and edit the class-wpml-ls-model-build.php, line 190.
Remove this line:

$ret[ $code ]['flag_alt']   = ( $display_name || $display_native ) ? '' : $data['translated_name'];

Replace it with this line:

$ret[ $code ]['flag_alt']   = ( $display_name || $display_native ) ? $data['native_name'] : $data['translated_name'];
