The list of available languages too wide.

The list of available languages that can be selected in the “Select Language” box becomes too wide.
When I use the “Select Language” function via Google Translate on a website, the language list becomes so wide that it does not fit on the screen. The list also cannot be scrolled horizontally, which means I cannot display all the available languages. I want to reach the selector function from the menu. How can I fix this issue?

It's best to wait until KolAsim gets in touch, he has some JavaScripts for a smaller language selection.
I don't want to link to any previous posts before KolAsim got in touch.
Hello,
unfortunately the object has no longer been updated, as it has been made obsolete by the advent of translation functions integrated in the browsers directly.
You could intervene with custom code to change the object itself, or replace it with an HTML Code object for a better way of displaying a list of languages (you can customize the ones to be displayed):
<div id='google_translate_element'></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
new google.translate.TranslateElement({
pageLanguage: 'en',
includedLanguages: 'en,zh-CN,es,de,it,fr,pt,nl,pl,ru,ja,ko,hi,th,ar',
layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.VERTICAL
}, 'google_translate_element');
}
/*
google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE
google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.VERTICAL
google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.HORIZONTAL
*/
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>

Thank you very much, this works perfectly!

(It > En) ... Eric has already provided the correct alternative...
... anyway, these are the alternatives Daniel was referring to for WebSiteX5's extended translator, Google's extended translator, and Google's reduced translator with partial voices:
