 * I added 3 bigger flags named en_US.png, fi.png and sv_SE.png to the folder wp_content/
   plugins/polylang NOT the wp_content/plugins/polylang/FLAGS folder like it says
   to do. but my widget language switcher still uses the small original flags from
   the ../flags folder?

 * Did you check that the directory and the files have the right permission? Not
   that the flags should change only on frontend, not on admin side.

 * Did you put the flags in the directory `'wp-content/polylang'` ? Not in plugins
   directory. You have to create the directory as Polylang does not create it. Did
   you correctly name the files? Did you check the permissions of the directory 
   adn the files?

 * When putting the alternative flags in `wp-content/polylang`, these flags only
   show on the website and not in the administration panel (still the default flags).
   But I suppose that is the way it is meant to be?
    Thanks.

 * Yes, that’s right. You can’t change the flags on admin side, just in case the
   size is different from the default flags.
