[Resolved] The long list in the language switcher break my layout at the footer

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client is trying to add multiple languages to their site and use the dropdown language switcher in the footer, but they are encountering an issue with its display.
Solution:
We recommend adding the following custom CSS to the theme's custom CSS section to control the height of the WPML Language Switcher dropdown:

.wpml-ls-legacy-dropdown .wpml-ls-sub-menu {height: 245px;overflow: auto;}
