 * I need help to display the language selection English/Chinese on the top right
   hand corner of my webpage for user to select the language to read. I installed
   simple language switcher. I referred to the following instructions online support
   but I don’t understand the instruction because it sounds too technical:
 * “1. Display the language switcher wherever you want in your theme calling the
   function simple_language_switcher() (check that the function exists first).
    
   2. For example, if you are using a child theme of the default WordPress theme,
   you could add the following code right under the #page element in the header.
   php file:”
 * Q: I don’t know where to find all the things mentioned above in the wordpress
   dashboard.
 * Appreciate if someone can teach me how to do the above in layman terms. Thanks.

 * Please do a back up of your site and then proceed with the following.
    Access
   the theme editor from the Dashboard> Appearance> editor. From there you can select
   the header file for your current theme and look for ” #page ” and then add the
   line of code mentioned into the file and save it.
