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="{$smarty.server.REQUEST_URI|add_url_param:'language':$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>
