 * Hi, first of all, the best translation plugin ever use – congrats! As my WordPress
   Installation was installed with German (Switzerland) Language, the flag for the
   german language is showing with a swiss flag. it would be helpful, if i can show
   a german flag for the german language. is there a easy way to change only the
   flag icon from switzerland to german?
    thanks for a quick answer – and again,
   you have do a great job!
 * cheers

 * Hello Claudio,
 * Thank you for the kind words addressed to the plugin – We appreciate them
 * You can replace the default flags by using a bit of coding. More information 
   can be found over at: [https://translatepress.com/docs/developers/replace-default-flags/](https://translatepress.com/docs/developers/replace-default-flags/)
 * Keep me posted on progress and if you can’t manage to do it; let me know
 * Best of the regards,
    Denis,

 * Hi Denis, sorry for the late answer.
 * thanks for the link to the documentation i already know. i am not a developer
   and therefore i have very minimal knowledge of coding. So unfortunately your 
   suggestion is not very helpful to me.
 * My goal is not to replace the default flags with any custome flags, I just want
   to replace the swiss default flag with the german default flag of the plugin.
   Is there any simpler way to do this?
 * Thank you for your support and help.

 * I solved this problem by FTPing and changing the name of the flag files as needed.
   
   In your case you would name the flag you want to use with de_CH.png All flags
   are in the folder: …/wp-content/plugins/translatepress-multilingual/assets/images/
   flags/

 * That‘s a bad idea, since the change will be overridden with every plugin update.

 * Thanks for that warning.
    Can you please explain how to change the flag according
   to instructions “1. Replace Default Flags — directly from the Advanced tab” on
   above mentioned page [https://translatepress.com/docs/developers/replace-default-flags/](https://translatepress.com/docs/developers/replace-default-flags/)?
   I have tried to follow #1 instructions and put in existing language data for “
   English (United States)” (same name, same ISO, same slug), but only created additional
   language with same name, so now I have 2 languages “English (United States)”.

 * I did try to upload the new flag and give the same name fr.png for French France
   language, but on my site nothing was changed. I have no problem uploading the
   flag after every update of this plugin, but it simply doesn’t work. Is there 
   something I am missing?
