Background of the issue:
I am trying to display language flags on my website hidden link using WPML. I want the flags to be displayed consistently across different devices.

Symptoms:
The language flags are displayed in a large square. On one side, the flags are in a row, while on the other side, they are on the far right. Additionally, the language flags are not displayed on mobile devices.

Questions:
Why are the language flags displayed differently on different sides of the site?
Why are the language flags not displayed on mobile devices?

Thank you for contacting WPML support. While you are waiting for one of my colleagues to take this ticket and work on it, let me provide you with first debugging steps or if I can perhaps help with the issue quickly.

I checked your website and noticed that the text Language Switcher (the one without the flags) is coming from your theme (Houzez) and not from WPML. Only the one with the flags is an actual language switcher from WPML.

In this case, edit your menu and header, so they only show the Language Switcher you want.

In the mobile view, I was able to see that only the WPML Language Switcher is showing. Perhaps it's necessary to adjust the menu and header accordingly.

If you wish to customize WPML's switcher, please check our documentation (it's for more advanced users):
https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/custom-language-switcher/

If that does not help, one of my colleagues will soon come to continue support.

Thank you for your answer, unfortunately it is pointless to answer my question like that! Have you read the question correctly? I know where to set the language, read the question again 2-3 times
