Andreas	Hello there Thank you for contacting us. I am happy to help you. As I can understand you are using 2 widgets and defining each language per widget. Since this feature is for classic widgets and I am not sure how correctly is this feature working, why not translate the widget into String Translation? It is a simple text widget and you can have different content per language. PLease also check here : https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-widgets/#translating-widgets-using-string-translation I hope this helps. Please let us know how it goes or if you need any further assistance. I'll gladly help you. 🙂 Regards, Andreas

stefanM-7	I use classic widgets. I didnt install string translation, why add more and more plugins, if there are features. Oh I forgot, the features doesnt work. Why fix it, when you have additional code, which slows down the page and you need to go to other menus for translation (more complicated), instead of fixing bugs? Oh I forgot, cant be fixed with a short reply and would be work... Is this here calles Support or find a workaround?

Andreas	First of all my apologies but We are trying our best in order to help our customers. There is no need to be agressive. I have already checked your debug info from the beginning, but I cannot see that you are using Classic Widgets plugin. However, I suggested this solution to another customer and it fixed the issue for him. Can you please check this errata : https://wpml.org/errata/wpml-4-5-9-widgets-are-shown-in-all-languages-if-classic-widgets-plugin-is-enabled/ Please apply the solution described there and share with me the results. Do not forget to take a backup before doing anything in your installation. Regards, Andreas
