How can I shorten language names on my language selector?

Topic summary

Request to display language abbreviations (e.g., EN) instead of full names (e.g., English) in the site’s language selector.

  • The language selector is part of the storefront theme (the UI design layer), not controlled by the app.
  • Achieving abbreviations likely requires custom coding in the theme, unless the theme already provides a setting to show language codes.
  • No preset solution was provided in the thread; the user acknowledged the clarification.

Outcome and next steps:

  • No resolution within the app; action is to check the theme’s configuration options or implement a custom theme modification.
  • If the theme lacks a preset, contacting the theme developer or a developer for a small customization is the practical path.

Status: Open; pending theme settings review or custom code implementation.

Hi @DavidCab thanks for trying out the app. Language selectors are a part of the theme rather than the app. What you’re after there sounds like custom coding - unless your theme has a preset configuration to do it.
