This was brought up as a forum question: https://forum.backdropcms.org/forum/language-switcher-how-change-looks-l...

It is not so obvious to me how to tweak the appearance. I guess I have to use the configuration dialogue box for the Language switcher

I would like to propose adding a couple of checkboxes to the block dialog, to allow for the following customizations:
- displaying language links as bullet points, or as a delimited list (using a pipe
|) - rendering the full name of the languages, or the respective language codes
