 * Hello, we have a site where the users want the flags removed entirely, and the
   language name to only be displayed in text. Is this possible at all? I have the
   Show flag images? box UNchecked but the flags are still displaying. Is it only
   possible to remove the flags with the pro version?
 * For example, they want it to only display English and Spanish instead of the 
   US,UK, or Canadian flag for English and the Spanish or Mexican flag for Spanish.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * You can check [GTranslate](https://wordpress.org/plugins/gtranslate/) plugin 
   which has what you want.
 * Thanks! 🙂

 * Unfortunately, GTranslate is not on our approved list to use. So you are confirming
   that there is no way to remove flags in the Google Language Translator?

 * Not sure what your approved list is and what logic do you use to add a plugin
   into your approved list. Both plugins are developed by me and the main difference
   is the look and feel.
 * You can customize this plugin if you wish, but you have to modify the files to
   get what you want and future updates will be a pain.
 * Thanks! 🙂

 * We have to put them through a review with our security department. Unfortunately,
   GTranslate has had too many recent vulnerabilities to be able to pass that review.
 * What I was looking for was an answer if they can be removed out of the box, not
   with customization. I am a little confused as to why there is a box to check 
   or uncheck to show flags if there really is no way to remove flags.
 * Thanks for your answer, confirming that there is no way to remove the flags without
   plugin customization.

 * Previous vulnerabilities cannot tell anything about the current status of the
   plugin.
 * You can use the following shortcode and place individual labels, but if you are
   asking about the default toolbar, no it works with flags.
 * `[glt language="Spanish" label="Español" image="no" text="yes"]`
