Choosing a button style

2 min readUpdated November 9, 2026

Go to Settings β†’ Language Switcher β†’ Trigger. The Button style card shows a live preview of each style. Click one and save.

Trigger tab, Button style card with the five style previews and Pill selected
Style Shows Good for
Pill Flag and language name in a rounded button Headers with room to spare; the default
Minimal Flag and short code, for example EN Tight menus and minimal designs
Classic Flag and name in a rectangular button Corporate and e-commerce sites
Card Flag and name in an outlined box Light headers where you want a clear border
Icon only Just the flag Phones and icon menus

The button always shows the language of the page the visitor is on.

How the name is written follows Modal β†’ How language names are written: Deutsch (own language), German (English), or Deutsch Β· German (both).

About the short code (Minimal). It shows the main part of the code: EN, FR, PT. If both a language and its regional version are on (for example English and English (UK)), the regional one shows its full code (EN-GB) so visitors can tell them apart.

Style for one button only. The Trigger tab sets the style for every button. A single menu item, block, shortcode or PHP button can use its own style instead (see Adding the Switcher). The order of priority is: the item’s own style, then the Trigger tab.
