Problem:
I want to display sticky posts in a second language or fallback to the default language with a custom query.
Solution:
1. Go to WPML > Settings > Post Types Translation > Set Posts preference to "Translatable - use translation if available or fallback to default language:
2. Use the argument below for the custom query:

$test_ids = unserialize($wpdb->get_var( "SELECT `option_value`, `option_id` FROM `$wpdb->options` WHERE `option_name` = 'sticky_posts'" ));
$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'post__in' => $test_ids,
);
