Hi!
My blog is Polish English, with a language switcher. Polish is the default language.

Since WPML does not recommend using automatic redirection due to potential interactions with Google indexing, there is only one option left to help users read my blog in English.

Namely, a popup that would open only if the browser language is different from Polish. Such a popup would contain a language switcher.

Please help me add such a popup. Does WPML have such an option?

regards,
Grzegorz

Hi Grzegorz,

thanks for contacting us.

WPML doesn't have such an option. It would require custom code, but we cannot provide it.

Ok, thank you very much for your answer!

If WMPL is for translating websites into other languages, I'm not the only person who has this problem.

Namely, they would like to be sure that a person visiting a given blog will see that they have a language switcher at their disposal.

How do your other clients solve this problem?

I will be very grateful for any hint.

regards,
Grzegorz

WPML has different options for language switchers, just not inside a popup https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/#language-switcher

What you want is a very specific scenario that our default options don't cover.
