What is Language Switcher?
The UI control letting visitors change languages — dropdown, flags or floating widget — linking to real translated URLs.

Link, don't script: switchers should be crawlable anchors so engines discover every version.
Why it matters for your website
Understanding Language Switcher helps you make better decisions when taking a WordPress site multilingual — from choosing URL structures and engines to controlling costs. Transxlate handles the mechanics (language URLs, lang attributes, caching, hreflang on Pro) so terms like this become settings, not engineering projects.
