Background of the issue:
I am trying to place my language switcher at the top right of the site hidden link. The built-in functionality is placing it inside the Menu container next to the menu options.

Symptoms:
One of the menu options is moving to the left side of the logo, making my top navigation unbalanced.

Questions:
How can I place the language switcher next to the navigation but at the very right of the place?

Hi there.

I can't see that menu and the language switcher from your screenshot on this site (hidden link).

I see only the text from the screenshot I attached, placed at the bottom of the page.

You can also place a language switcher in any custom location you want by using shortcodes or, if you feel comfortable with code, you can use PHP:

I hope that you will find this information helpful.

Please let me know how things go.

Hi,

I'm sorry for not being clear enough. The issue I am talking about is only showing on a part of the site that is not accessible from the current home.

Please, have a look here:

Hi Mihai,

Thank you for your help on this so far. I'm afraid the solution you're suggesting it's not what I'm looking for. I really want the switcher to be placed further apart from the navigation. See my attached visual illustrating where I am looking for this to be placed.

Can we do it?

Thanks
