If you wish to design a custom TranslatePress language switcher, there is a function you can implement to help you with all the necessary information when using the plugin.
Create a TranslatePress Custom Language Switcher
The function that needs to be called is
trp_custom_language_switcher().The function returns an array with the following parameters:
$custom_ls_array[$language_code]['language_name']– the full language name$custom_ls_array[$anguage_code]['language_code']– the language code of the respective language$custom_ls_array[$anguage_code]['short_language_name']– the language code of the language, the slug which will be used in the url$custom_ls_array[$anguage_code]['flag_link']– a link to the flag of the respective language$custom_ls_array[$anguage_code]['current_page_url']– the URL of the current language with the language slug added
Here is an example of a custom-made language switcher:
While here you can see the code snippet:
Note: You need to have data-no-translation on the wrapper with the links or TranslatePress will automatically translate them in a secondary language.
You can also create a custom language switcher shortcode that you can then use like [custom-language-switcher]
