Did you ever need to connect multiple language plugins? I know this is a niche, but from my long lasting experience I know that sometimes you need such a thing.
Maybe you don’t like the widgets your translation plugin provides. So you maybe need something else.
Try this if you are in need for a language widget which has no function except to be a widget.
Here is an example:
Imagine you have some people in your company providing their own translation but for some reason you also need machine translations of your content. In our specific case it was the plugin Global Translator and WPML. Of course all these plugins have their own widgets, but getting mad if you try to use them both because their widgets only work with the single plugin. So there was a need for a widget which has no function behind it to simply connect two plugins.
You need to configure the WPML part for the languages with your own translations and the Global Translator part for those without.
In the no function language widget you simply choose the language codes with a comma seperated list. It even works if you need other names for your languages. Just replace the flag to your name for example rename de.png to german.png and use /german as your language base.

No Function Language Widget

With this you can bridge the gap between multiple translation plugins. It is a no function language widget with multiple options.

<h4>Usage</h4>
To insert an image of the flag for Letter A in a post or page, use the shortcode <code>[signal-flag a]</code>. You can use the following flags with the corresponding codes: 
* Alphabet flags A-Z (codes <code>a</code>–<code>z</code>) 
* Numeral pennants 0-9 (codes <code>n0</code> – <code>n9</code>) 
* Answering pennant (AP) (code <code>ap</code>) 
* 1st, 2nd and 3rd substitute (codes <code>s1</code>–<code>s3</code>) 
* Various flags defined in the Racing Rules of Sailing (codes <code>black</code>, <code>blackwhite</code>, <code>blue</code>, <code>green</code>, <code>greenwhite</code>, <code>red</code>, <code>yellow</code>)
There are different sets of flags selectable from the admin settings page.
<h4>About the flag images</h4>
Images are embedded in the page using the SVG vector format (much quicker than loading a separate image file) and eight sets of flag images are included with the following options: 
* with or without outlines for ease of use on white backgrounds (including when printed) 
* rectangular (4:3 aspect ratio) and square shapes for letter flags 
* in ‘natural’ or ‘primary’ colours.
<h3>Development</h3>
Development for the Signal Flags plugin is hosted on <a href="https://github.com/signal-flags/signal-flags-wp-plugin" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a>.
