Dear Team,
I will be soon trying to copying my website so I can translate it in several languages. Could you please tell me which widget can be used as language switcher and where to find it ?
Thank you
Best
NatachaHey HulaSlim,
Thank you for the inquiry.
You have to install a multi-language plugin like WPML or Polylang. They contain a language switcher by default which can be appended in the main menu. The documentations below should help.

IsmaelOh, and the article suggested is here:
Hi,
Thank you for the update.
How will you translate the pages or display the other language? Are you planning on translating every page and post manually? This is possible but this will definitely take more time compare to installing a plugin and may require the help of a third party developer, and you will also have to take care of the permalinks manually. Unfortunately, this is beyond the scope of support. We recommend installing one of the plugins that we mentioned above.
Best regards,
IsmaelHi,
I’m a translator, so all the translation has already been done. And I don’t want to spend more money in thrid parties. I only need a language swticher within Enfold. I can I install that please ?
Thanks
NatachaHi,
You can add a custom menu item in the Appearance > Menus panel, which links to the subdomains containing the translated version of the site. In the navigation label field, you can also use img tags to add a flag or any image.

IsmaelHi Ismael,
In Appearence/menus I didn’t find any “add” button. Can you please explain exactly what I have to do ?
Thank you.

NatachaPS: plus, where is the navigation label field ? And what are img tags and where do I find them ?$
Thanks.Hey,
Img is HTML tag – https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp. You can use HTML img tag to add images in Navigation Label field – https://imgur.com/a/sahW3yY in Appearance > Menus :)

YigitHi,
I believe the easiest solution for you is to create a language selector in the menu by adding custom links like this:
you can download the flags here, I choose 48px png flag images and uploaded them to my media library:
The Navigation Label that Ismael was talking about is here:
in the Navigation Label add this code:<img src="/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2023/01/icons8-germany-48.png" width="20px" height="20px">
naturally you will change the image url to your image and change it for each of the flags.
the result should be like this:
Best regards,
Mike
