Google Translate flag icon — size bump (Solano)

Date: 2026-05-07 Requested by: Anders Engnell Site: solano.californiaforever.com Status: Shipped to production

What changed

Bumped the flag emoji ("icon") in the Google Translate language toggle from font-size: 16px → 23px (~44% larger), per Anders's request to make the icons more visible in the header nav.

Why bigger than main CF (21px)? Eric eyeballed both after the initial 30% bump and asked for "a smidge bigger" on Solano. Solano's nav reads heavier overall (DM Sans link row, no frosted-glass treatment), so the flag needed a bit more weight to register.

Both instances updated: - .gt-flag-toggle .gt-flag-trigger .gt-flag (the flag in the trigger pill) - .gt-flag-toggle .gt-flag-panel button .gt-flag (the flag in each dropdown option)

img.emoji rules already use height: 1em / width: 1.4em, so the WP-emoji image scales with font-size — no extra changes needed.

File touched

wp-content/mu-plugins/gtranslate-nav-placement.php (inline <style id="gt-nav-placement-css"> block)

Not git-tracked — mu-plugins live outside the theme repo. Deployed via SCP.

Deploy

Main CF got the same treatment in the same session at 21px. See ~/.claude/project-notes/california-forever/main-site/Retainer/2026-05-07-translate-flag-icon-size-bump.md.
