While you are looking at this, we also need help setting up the language selector button. Right now, when you are in the Spanish page, the button says Español, we need it to say English so that people can just click on it and switch to the English version.
Same when you are on the English version of the website, it should say Español so that people can switch to the language.
Inside WPML > Languages > Menu Language Switcher section > if you click the "edit" pencil icon > you should have the option to hide the current language.
This way, it will only show the other option in each language, exactly as you mentioned that you would like to see it working.
I hope that you will find this information helpful.
It doesn't work. This doesn't make sense, it doesn't allow me to turn off the current language. The reader already knows the language they are looking at. What we need is for the menu to display the other language. For example, when you are on the Spanish website, it should ONLY display the word English, to switch to it. And when you are on the English website, the option should only be Español
I understand how this might sound confusing, but some people prefer to always have all languages shown up at the top.
However, some (like in our case) prefer to hide the current language.
To do this, you can go to WPML > Languages (hidden link) > find the "Menu language switcher" section > click the "pencil" icon > change the view to "List of languages" instead of the dropdown (because there will be no more dropdown if we will show up only one flag) > and then UNcheck the "Current language" checkbox > then save.
I'm attaching some screenshots, too, as those might help.
This will help you accomplish exactly what you wanted: WPML will always display only the other languages and exclude the current language the user navigates from.
I hope that I was able to explain things a bit better this time.
