 * Is there any way to correct the name and alt flags in the code? If the flags 
   are displayed through the menu, then every page will have an image without title
   and alt, and this has a negative impact on SEO.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fflags-7%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello,
 * I don’t see any flag on your site. If you are using a language switcher provided
   with Polylang, the alternative text of the flag is present if the language switcher
   displays only flags and removed if the language switcher displays both flags 
   and language names. This is done for accessibility reason as screen readers would
   read 2 times the language name.

 * I removed the flags for testing. I read on the support site that it solves the
   situation quickly ([https://polylang.pro/doc/the-title-attribute-displays-the-html-code-of-the-flag/](https://polylang.pro/doc/the-title-attribute-displays-the-html-code-of-the-flag/)).
   
   With the display of flags through the menu appear image in html data:image/gif;
   base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAAAAAAACH5BAEKAAAEALAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAAAAAICTAEAOw==An 
   optimization check of the site revealed three photos that had no alt on the Title.
   I put the flags back on the site, in order to be able to see the problem.If you
   leave just the flags, without language names, the list is not displayed.
