Hi , Pls i would request that you add Pidgin English as one of the Languages … Bcs Pidgin English is Common in most African countries and Some places around the world.

Also i would want to request that you Include “Select Language” Feature before the Language dropdown

Hey there, @Elvis_Ezekiel_Ogbeda 👋

Thanks a lot for adding your idea!

We’ll try to think about the Pidgin language option in the future updates, especially for more votes.

As for the Select language option, currently the default language in the widget is defined by the language of your website. Could you please describe why you’d prefer the Select language option instead?

Do I get it right that you just want to add a plain “Select language” caption at the top of the dropdown?

Got it!

Please try to add this code to the Custom CSS field on the Settings tab of your widget’s settings and let me know if you like the result 🙂

```auto
.es-popout-wrapper [role="listbox"]:before {
  content: 'Select Language';
  text-align: center;
  font-size: 10px;
  line-height: 1.2;
  padding-bottom: 5px;
}

```
