There are two ways:

1. Create a template-level override. To do that, place es.gif in these folders, depending on the template. You need to do this for all templates used on your site.
administrator/templates/[template]/images/mod_languages (backend template)
templates/[template]/images/mod_languages (frontend template)
media/templates/[client]/[template]/images/mod_languages ("inheritable" template)

2. Place a gif icon in media/mod_languages/images and select it in the content language form. This will apply globally.

As I read the answers from my Joomla friends, I find myself really at the Fledgling level. I tried to understand SharkyKZ and realized I am quite unaware of what he asks me to do. I tried an override in the template html/mod_language/default.php where five .gif instances occur. I chose the 3rd one since it is 3rd in line with my drop down menu on front end. There are five language flags I'm using and although the Spain flag is nice, my real audience is Mexico, so I just want to replace the flags. What should I be doing to accomplish that task? All replies are welcomed along with code examples where necessary. Thanks in advance.

Hi. This it too complicated

If you are not fundamentally so that the flag of Mexico will be in the admin panel, but it will be only on the frontend, then through CSS this is much easier to do. Prepare the image of the flag, the same size as all other flags. Upload it into the images folder of your site and provide a link to the image and to the page.

You don't need to touch any layouts. Only upload the gif to specified locations. If using second approach, also select the gif in the content language form https://help.joomla.org/proxy?keyref=He ... ge&lang=en.
