Problem: The client is trying to write custom logic to redirect users based on browser language and wants to extend the expiration of the "wp-wpml_current_language" cookie from a session to 2 years to honor user's language preferences. Additionally, the client seeks a way to detect when a user changes the language using the WPML language selector without enabling the WPML Browser Language redirect.
Solution: We recommend using the wpml_browser_redirect_language_params hook to customize browser language redirection behavior. However, we advise against changing the cookie value as it may cause issues with the translated content.
WPML stores cookies that are essential for its proper functioning, as detailed in our documentation on browser cookies stored by WPML.
For detecting language switches, the wpml_language_has_switched hook can be used to perform actions when the global language changes in WPML.
