I will repost this here, as it seems that the post-install forum was wrong for this question, and I'm pretty screwed if I don't find a solution to this.

I have a multilingual site. I have finally gotten the translation working, but now I can't seem to be able to get text-only language links like I've seen on many Drupal-sites.

Question1: I agree with the people here http://drupal.org/node/67817
that textlinks are much better than language flags. BUT, how do I get it working (IE not show the flags)?

Question2: I want to position the links in a different place than they are now (but not through blocks, because it doesn't help me), How do I do it in the site template? In other words, what variables control the output of the language switcher module?
Look at my prob in this screenshot, I want to position the Language switcher block in a different place:

All the best, I appreciate your answers!

1. Here is the theme code needed to remove flags & show translated text links: http://drupal.org/node/117201

2. If you don't want to render a block, you may display the language switcher whenever you like by directly calling the modified phptemplate_i18n_link.
