This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client is experiencing an issue where there is no text in the dropdown menu of the language switcher, although they want text to appear only in the dropdown menu and not in the main menu.
Solution:
If you're facing a similar issue with your language switcher, we recommend checking the setting for displaying the language name. Specifically, you should select the checkbox labeled 'Language name in current language' to ensure that the language names appear in the dropdown menu. This setting can be adjusted in the WPML language switcher customization options.
Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. We highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket.
