Hi,

The language bar on my website that appears on the header on my desktop preview won’t show on the header on mobile preview.

Can anyone help fix this?

Hi @Lumi555 ,

It seems that the language bar isn’t showing in the mobile version of your website. This is likely related to the CSS or theme settings for mobile responsiveness.

First, you should check the mobile view CSS to ensure that the language bar is not hidden under any mobile-specific rules. Sometimes, elements are set to display: none or have incorrect positioning on mobile devices, which can cause them not to appear.

It’s also important to look at the theme’s media queries in the CSS. There could be a rule targeting mobile viewports that is hiding the language selector. Inspecting and adjusting this may solve the issue.

In addition, you should verify that the positioning of the language bar is correct for mobile. Sometimes, elements can be pushed off-screen or placed behind other elements in a mobile layout, which can make them invisible on smaller screens.

Another thing to check is the HTML and JavaScript. There may be JavaScript preventing the language bar from appearing on mobile. It’s a good idea to look for any errors that might be blocking its visibility.

Finally, if you’re using a platform like Shopify or any other website builder, you could test the mobile layout editor to see if you can manually adjust the visibility or positioning of the language selector.
