Since Quebec is not a country, then you will have to create the flag and swap it either for the Canadian or the French one, while making sure to keep the exact name.
I have the same situation and choose to just use the names instead of the flags. This way it is carries no political assumptions.
I use: FR | EN

Just for a point, I’m Catalan and when choosing CA a Canadian flag appear, but Catalan flag still there as an ALT file, not bad. But my questions is about what language is Canadian? I could understand to change language with your country flag, but the main thing is about language not the country, Catalan is spoken in Some areas of Spain, south of France, Andorra and in L’Alguer (Italy).
I suppose that CA should be change to the more appropriated CT for Catalonia but not being an independent country now, makes all this complicated, but a Canadian Flag still looks strange?
In any case, I agree by using language name only, a lot better solution.
Just my two cents
Hi @quimberenguer,
Canada is a bilingual country.
Here we speak English and French.
To go a little bit more in details, I would say that English is the main language used in the West Provinces. Québec is the only Eastern Province where French is the main language. Québec is the only French bastillon in Americas. Although, I would say that roughly around 35-40% of people here in Quebec can – sort of – speak or communicate English.
Please note, I am not an history specialist. 😉
Hi. I knew that, I was just saying that doesn’t exist a specific language call Canadian to use Canada Flag, well maybe some Indian languages.
Flags are not the best icon to use, as doesn’t fit with languages. Let’s say for instance that I use Canadian flag as a language to choose, will it be English or French?. In an other option I could use the Union Jack because we always suppose English and that could be accepting that Welsh, for instance, is not as British, and so on. My point was that flags are not the best way to use as a language choice, and I pointed to canadiana flag because every time I choose my language (CA Catalan) appears the red and white flag with the maple leaf. Have nothing against Canada 🙂 not at all. its just a personal fact.
Oh Quim!!! I get what you mean, now. 🙂
What I do is this:
In my “Locale *” I choose fr_FR
and then for the “Flag” option I pick “ca” which renders the Canadian flag.
But… anyways, I don’t use the flags. I hide these with this CSS:
ul.wpm-language-switcher li span img,
ul.wpm-language-switcher li a img {
display: none !important;
visibility: hidden !important;
width: 0px !important;
height: 0px !important;
}
😉
