Language Selector (Desktop and Tablet)
This content element is used in the webstore header only for the desktop and tablet layouts, including desktop and tablet sticky headers.
The Language selector content element is used to add language dropdown to the webstore header for the desktop and tablet layouts. It is needed if you have a multi-lingual webstore and you provide content in different languages. Customers can select the necessary language from the dropdown list to see webstore content in the selected language.
Although you can add the Language selector content element to any page, we recommend to use it in your webstore header.
You can change the name of any installed webstore language using the in-site editor. If you don't like the default language name, you can easily change it.
