Hello, How to add Language Switcher in the site header?
Hi there,
you would need to use a Translation plugin like Polylang or WPML or Locotranslate.
I'm using WPML

Can you link us to your site?
How did you add the switcher right now?
I added it by WPML plugin
Hi Hana,
WPML has a shortcode for the language switcher. Researching, I found that this seems to be the shortcode: [wpml_language_switcher]
Reference: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/wpml-coding-api/shortcodes/#wpml_language_switcher
We can use this shortcode, and add it to through Hook Element hooked to your preferred location.
Hook Element: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/hooks-element-overview/
To have an idea of the appropriate hook to use, may you share the link to the site in question?
You may use the private information field for this: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-the-premium-support-forum/#private-information
Hope to hear from you soon. :)
I sent my site private URL
Thank you for sharing the link to your site.
You may try generate_after_header_content hook.
Example: https://share.getcloudapp.com/nOuX8G9E
Then, display it to your preferred location.
Hope this helps!
