I want to use custom images instead of language name in language switcher

    Hi all,

    I really appreciate this module but now I face a problem which I do not get solved as I am not really a programmer – at least I fail understanding how the filters work.

    I found out so far that I can use

    add_filter('pll_the_languages', 'custom_language_switcher', 10, 2);

    in my custom plugin to change the output of the language switcher. But that’s all ?? HOW I exactly achieve what I want keeps being a secret to me. What I want to achieve: I have activated English and German. The language switcher should show up a custom image for each language (important: not as a background image but as a HTML inserted image with <img>). So when German is the language to switch to it shows a custom button and when English is the language it shows another custom button – no language name, slug or flag.

    Could please somebody help me??

    Best,
    Tobias

    You don’t need to program… If I well understood, you just need a custom flag which can be the picture you want.
    In your language switcher option, choose to display flags and not names. Then create a directory ‘wp-content/polylang’ and upload your pictures (png or jpg) that you should name with WordPress locale (for example en_US.png or de_DE.jpg).
