Hi there,

I use the dawn theme for my website: www.asp-consultancy.com.

I would like to move the Language selector from the footer to the header. Is there a smooth easy way to do that. I can handle basic code editing.

@Savior you’re right, I am dealing with the app support. I hope this will work out.

KR,

I have the same issue and need. But I don’t see a solution here. Have you been able to do that? If yes, how did you get it done? Appreciate a help.
