For me, using the Ultimo theme for Magento 2, after I added a new Store View this dropdown appeared on the frontend with an ID of "switcher-language". To remove it, I made the following changes to this file: app/design/frontend/THEME/CHILD/Magento_Theme/layout/default.xml Added to bottom: Commented out this section: mobile

For Magento 2, you can hide the store switcher by removing the store_switcher block. To remove the store_switcher block, extend the Magento_Theme default.xml file by creating the default.xml in your theme: app/design/frontend/your_vendor_name/your_theme_name/Magento_Theme/layout/default.xml

In the default.xml file:

<body>    
   <referenceBlock name="store_switcher" remove="true"/>
</body>

Then clear cache: bin/magento cache:clean

For Magento 2 you can disable it via your customer theme folder. In your file app/design/frontend///Magento_Theme/layout/default.xml you can add the line between the tag

...
<body>
    <referenceBlock name="store_switcher" remove="true"/>
...

Flush the cache afterwards.

Under

/public_html/app/design/frontend/vendor/theme/Magento_Theme/web/css/source

you create a file called:_extend.less

add this code in it:

.switcher select
{
display:none
}

Clear your cache afterwards and it should works.
If it doesn't, maybe the CSS Selector is wrong, so you have to find the correct one.

The effect of this addition is that the Language switcher will not be rendered, it will still get loaded by your Magento.
