Language Selector

Topic summary

Request to reposition the language selector in a Shopify store’s mobile layout. The selector currently appears at the bottom of the mobile side menu, but the goal is to place a compact “EN/SE” selector in the mobile header, aligned next to the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines).

  • Desired behavior: Inline with the hamburger icon, with equal spacing similar to the search and Add to Cart buttons; a neat, balanced appearance; labels “EN” for English and “SE” for Swedish.
  • Current state: Desktop has a language selector; mobile shows it only at the side menu’s bottom. Attempts to add code failed to align it beside the hamburger menu.
  • Visual references: Attached images illustrate current placement and the desired layout (photo 3 is the target design). Images are central to understanding alignment and spacing requirements.

Hi,

I need urgent help adding a language selector to the mobile version of my website. While the language selector is already available on the desktop version, it only appears at the bottom of the side menu on mobile (see the attached photo). I would like it to be prominently displayed in the mobile header, positioned next to the hamburger menu (the three horizontal lines).

The language selector should have equal spacing, similar to how the search button and “Add to Cart” button are spaced from each other. It should be compact and display “EN” for the English version of the website and “SE” for the Swedish version.

I’ve tried adding code myself but haven’t been able to align the language selector with the hamburger menu. Currently, it looks like it does in the attached photo. As shown in photo 3, I’d like the “EN” selector to be neatly aligned next to the hamburger menu, creating a balanced and polished appearance. I’d greatly appreciate your assistance with this. Thank you in advance.

As seen in photo 3, I would like the same “EN” language selector, but placed in line with (next to) the hamburger menu. Please help urgenty. Thanks.
