This array is then serialized and stored into constant variable.Įnglish (en), French(fr), Italian(it), German (de) and Spanish (es) speaking country list is stored in an array. In the code snippet below, an array is defined with indexes as languages codes and with sub-array with countries speaking that particular language.

In the Child themes functions.php file, let’s define a constant for storing a list of countries.
Step 1: First of all we will create a shortcode to display countries on a page. To achieve this we need to write custom code in functions.php file of “Child theme”, in our case it’s Twenty Sixteen child theme. What we want is to make countries drop down shown according to the language selected in language switcher.įor e.g let’s say if we select the French language, the country dropdown should be populated with French-speaking countries, for German language German speaking countries should be populated and so on.
