Hi b4uindia,

Here modification for you.
Open '../templates/{YOUR TEMPLATE}/header.tpl'
find following code

{foreach from=$languages item=language name=select_lang}
<li {if $smarty.foreach.select_lang.last}style="border-right: none;"{/if}>
{if $language.lang eq $config.lang}
&nbsp;{$language.lang}</li>
{else}
&nbsp;<a href="{$smarty.server.REQUEST_URI|add_url_param:'languag e':$language.lang}">{$language.lang}</a></li>
{/if}
{/foreach}


replace with following code

<form method="get" action="{$smarty.server.REQUEST_URI}">
Choose language:
<select name="language" class="what" onChange="this.form.submit()">
{foreach from=$languages item=language}
<option value="{$language.lang}" {if $language.lang eq $config.lang}selected{/if}>{$language.lang}</option>
{/foreach}
</select>
</form>
