WPML Widgets
9,000+ active installs · Rated 4.9/5 · Updated November 28, 2017
Small free add-on for WPML that adds a language dropdown to each widget. You choose which languages a widget appears in, and it is hidden on other language versions of the site. It suits multilingual sites that only need to vary sidebar content by language. It has no admin settings screen of its own, and it does nothing unless WPML core is active.
Pros
- Adds a per-widget language selector in the widget form
- Hides widgets on languages they are not set for
- Free and GPL licensed
Cons
- Needs WPML core installed and active
- Readme last tested with WordPress 4.7, so compatibility is unclear
- Only controls widget visibility, not widget content translation
