What are website language selector best practices?
There are some standard best practices that you should adhere to when designing a website language selector: Always use the local format and spelling of the language. It needs to be recognizable instantly to native speakers. For example, German should be listed as Deutsch.
Where do I put language switcher?
Users expect the language selector to be located in the header or the footer of each page, and they often watch out for flags, “Globe” or “Translate” icons to find it. If you have just a few languages, a drop-down overlay might be perfectly enough.

Country Selector
Country selectors are by far the most popular. They allow the user to at least identify the options and choose the country of their preference.
