   sample with a flags

   go here and download brilliant icons of flags
   http://famfamfam.com/lab/icons/flags/

   lets assume that you have upload neeeded flags (lets imaging that we use Dutch , Ukranian, and Japan languages at site

   so we need de.png , ua.png (and renaming it to uk.png course language code for ukranian isnt country code its uk), and jp.png to ja.png same as ukranian its its a little bit different than country code.

   so. imagine that de.png,uk.png,ja.png located at http://example.com/flags/

   lets take one of previous examples and changed it.

   simple active languages flag only switcher

   <?php
       $str = "<div id='switchlangs'>";
       $str .= "<h3>".__('Languages')."</h3>";
       $str .= "<ul>";
       foreach($GLOBALS['AviableLanguages'] as $_K=>$_I){
           $str .=  "<li>";
           if ($_I['lang_shortcode'] != $language){
               $str .= "<a href='".WPML::LanguageLink($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], $_I['lang_shortcode'])."' title='".$_I['name']."'><img src='http://example.com/flags/".$_I['lang_shortcode'].".png' alt='".$_I['name']."' /></a>";
           }
           $str .=  "</li>";
       }
       $str .= "</ul></div>";
       echo $str;
   
   ?>

   that was a simple dirty and ugly example you can style it via css and make various expmples =).

   live demo of switcher for my future site...

   <div class="bar">
   					<?php 
   
   						foreach($GLOBALS['AviableLanguages'] as $lang){
   							if ($lang['lang_shortcode'] != $language){
   								$switch = __('Ваша мова ').$lang['name'].'?';
   								?>
   								<div class="langs"><a href="<?php echo str_replace('/'.$language.'/', '/'.$lang['lang_shortcode'].'/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); ?>" title="<?php echo $switch; ?>" class="lang"><?php echo $switch; ?></a></div><?php
   							}
   						}
   					?>
   				</div>

   + combined localization of switcher code produce

   english part of site - title in ukranian "Your language Ukranian?"
   ukrainian part of site - title in englsih "Switch to Englsih?"

   its look like this
