I am very newbie with WordPress and editing plugins.

I have a custom menu (English, Chinese (Simplified)) using HTML that I want it to call the gtranslate function for each language but it seems like it does not working. I dont know how to run the gtranslate with my custom menu. Please help.

<li class="li-eng">
<i class="sl-flag flag-usa"><div id="usa"></div></i> 
<span class="active"><?php _e('English', 'gtranslate'); ?></span>
</li>
<li class="li-zh">
<i class="sl-flag flag-de"><div id="chinese"></div></i> <span><?php _e('Chinese (Simplified)', 'gtranslate'); ?></span>
</li>

Link menu item with URL = #, Link Text = Global and add CSS Classes = gtranslate-parent to the newly created menu item. After that you can configure GTranslate and set Widget look = (Flags with language name/Flags with language code/Language names/Language codes) and it will appear as a dropdown when you hover on the newly created menu item.
