 * Hello,
 * I have looked for a similar post, but I couldn’t find exactly the same. My problem
   is that the switcher is nos visible as I wish. Please see here: [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/61077885/Captura%20de%20pantalla%202015-11-16%20a%20las%2010.56.12.png](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/61077885/Captura%20de%20pantalla%202015-11-16%20a%20las%2010.56.12.png)
 * I would like to have a dropdown list of languages and not like they are now.
 * Reading other posts I saw that some problems are caused by the Ajax feature, 
   do you think this too?
 * My webpage needs Ajax, is it possible to deactivate it only to have the switcher
   working correctly?
 * Thank you!
    Best regards

 * Hi Jorge
 * I use a dropdown language switcher on one of my sites, when viewed on smaller
   screens. It is all done using css and jquery. You need to have a button and the`
   <ul>` language menu hidden. When the button is clicked, display your language
   switcher menu and ensure that you set up the css to show a list. That’s pretty
   much it.
 * You can view it in action at [this page](http://www.martinhal.com/sagres/) when
   you look at it with a mobile phone or a responsive screen tool.

 * Thank you! I don’t know how to do it because I have basic knowledge of that… 
   but I’ll investigate it.
    Anyway, is there a form to see the dropdown language
   switcher also in the normal pc screen? Thank you very much

 * Here is a [tutorial to convert an html `<ul>` list into a drop down menu](http://csswizardry.com/2011/02/creating-a-pure-css-dropdown-menu/)
   using css. The language switcher and all menus in WordPress, are lists usign 
   the `<ul><li></li></ul>` markup convention. With CSS you can convert the default
   behaviour of the html code in the browser.
 * Note that the above tutorial is using only html and CSS. There dropdown menus
   with more fancy animations that also use javascript to enhance the effet, but
   if you are not sure what you are doing, the quickest result is to go with the
   above example. Good luck.
 * PS: Maybe you can mark this thread as resolved now.
