# Adding language links to navigation

 * I’m doing an all-Canadian site for a client. Since it’s exclusively for Canada,
   there’s no point in having Flag links. I just want to add the abbrievated EN 
   and FR to the menu. So I did that, using ca.veilcosmetics.com for the EN link
   and ca.veilcosmetics.com/fr for the FR link. Thought that would work but it doesn’t.
   Both links take on whatever language I’m actually on at the time.
 * There’s only going to be two languages on the site. So I thought the Language
   Switcher was too much. So is there a way I can simply add these links to the 
   menu and make it easy?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fadding-language-links-to-navigation%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi databell96,
    For your first question: You can simply rename your languages
   as this: FR EN
 * Then, to remove the flags you can use CSS. You will have to find the selector
   and add this:
 *     ```
       selector here a img {
       display: none !important;
       vsibility: hidden !important;
       }
       ```

 * Back to my desk and checked my CSS.
    This is how I am hiding the flags:
 *     ```
       ul.wpm-language-switcher li span img,
       ul.wpm-language-switcher li a img {
       	display: none !important;
         	visibility: hidden !important;
       }
       ```

 * Thanks, Anticisti! That really helped me out a lot. The Canadian site went live
   late last night and that was the final piece. Big help.
