    Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to declare an alternative language name that is displayed in the frontend (via the language switcher menu). I would like to create a switcher that displays the language like “Willkommen zu”/”Welcome to”/”Bienvenue á” rather than “Deutsch”/”English”/”Francais”. I know it technically is possible by simply changing the display name, but it would also change the label in the Backend. Maybe there is a way to do a str_replace somewhere? I’m not an exepert programmer so any suggestions or help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi!

    That’s indeed possible with some str_replace thanks to the ‘pll_the_languages’ filter:

    add_filter( 'pll_the_languages', 'modify_switcher' );
function modify_switcher( $switcher ) {
  // you can modify the $switcher with some str_replace here.
  return $switcher;
}
