In this guide we’ll go through some quick steps detailing how to add a WPML language selector to your mobile menu toggle bar.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Add a shortcode to display the WPML Language selector<\/h3>\n

First we need to create a method to display the language selector. To do this we will create a shortcode which will display the language selector.<\/p>\n

Paste the following code into your themes functions.php file.<\/p>\n

\/**\r\n * Create a shortcode to display a WPML Language selector\r\n *\r\n * Usage: [mmm_wpml_lang_selector]\r\n *\/\r\nfunction mmm_wpml_shortcode_func(){\r\n    ob_start();\r\n    do_action('icl_language_selector');\r\n    $output_string = ob_get_contents();\r\n    ob_end_clean();\r\n\r\n    return $output_string;\r\n}\r\nadd_shortcode( 'mmm_wpml_lang_selector', 'mmm_wpml_shortcode_func' );<\/pre>\n
You can now use the [mmm_wpml_lang_selector] shortcode to display the WPML language selector anywhere on your site.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Add an “HTML” Toggle Block to the mobile toggle bar<\/h3>\n
Go to Mega Menu > Menu Themes<\/em> and scroll down to the Mobile Menu section.<\/p>\n
Use the Toggle Bar Designer to add a ‘HTML’ block to the toggle bar, and paste in the shortcode ([mmm_wpml_lang_selector]).<\/p>\n
\"wpml-language-selector-mobile-menu\"<\/a><\/p>\n
Save the theme.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Adjust the positioning of the language selector<\/h3>\n
After checking your menu you will notice the language selector sits right at the top of the toggle bar.<\/p>\n
To vertically align the language selector, add the following into the Custom Styling section of your menu theme:<\/p>\n
#{$wrap} #lang_sel {\r\n    margin-top: 7px; \/* Adjust this value to move the selector up or down *\/\r\n}<\/pre>\n
Final Result<\/h3>\n
After completing the steps you should now see a language selector inside your mobile toggle bar.<\/p>\n
\"wpml-mobile-toggle-block\"<\/a><\/p>\n
