Custom Language Switcher - TranslatePress

If you wish to design a custom language switcher, a function is implemented to help you with all the necessary information. 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:

<?php
    $array = trp_custom_language_switcher();
    ?>
    <br>
    <ul>
        <?php foreach ($array as $name => $item){
            ?>
            <li style="list-style-image: url(<?php echo $item['flag_link'] ?>)"> 
                <a href="<?php echo $item['current_page_url']?>"> 
                    <span><?php echo $item['short_language_name']. ':' . $item['language_name']?>
                    </span>
                </a>
            </li>
            <?php
        }?>
    </ul>
<?php

You can also create a custom language switcher shortcode that you can then use like [[custom-langauge-switcher]]
