country - Placement of a Change language button


Where would you place a Change language button/Country selector (or dropdown) on a web page? In a footer menu or in a utility menu in the top right corner of a web page or somewhere else on the page? What are your findings? Where does it feel most natural?




Answer



I won't go for the note in the footer since the primary use of such a selector is when landing the very first time on the website, as soon as the user sees that he does not understand the site language, he must not have to scroll to the footer to switch language.


But this should be a secondary action. So given the cultural context, I'll put it on the top right corner for left-to-right layout.
