    First of all, thank you for this great plugin.

    I would like to know how can I display currently selected language together with a flag?

    I want to display current language, and a list of other available languages on hover.

    I am not a php literate, any help would be appreciated.
    Using <?php pll_current_language(); ?> does not return anything.

    Hello

    Did you try with pll_the_languages:
    https://polylang.wordpress.com/documentation/documentation-for-developers/functions-reference/

    It’s not maybe what you want but did you try this:
    Widgets or Menus > Language switcher: select the both settings =>
    Displays language names
    Displays flags

    Thanks for your reply.

    I have tested out pll_the_languages completely and it is not what I am looking for at the moment.

    Also, it is worth nothing that this is undoable through menu/widgets. Tried it a couple of times even with nesting. It just goes belly up with 3+ languages.

    I need to make it work with pll_current_language to display current language.

    pll_the_languages : did you look the ‘raw’ argument with the entry [current_lang]?
    It could help you.

    Tried <?php pll_the_languages(array('raw'=>1)); ?> but it doesn not print anything back.

    I need to find a way to display the flag of current language.

    Hi!

    When using the raw option, the function does not display anything but *returns* an array with everything you need to create your own language switcher. But for sure, you will have to make everything by yourself.
