The problem is that i can assign custom sidebars to pages in original language, but I don’t know how assign them in other language

Hi there,

You should switch to your target language first in admin bar’s language switcher before assigning it. That should list the existing posts of that specific language then assign your sidebar to them.

Thanks!

If i switch in my target language, i can assign existing posts of that specifing language, but the name of sidebar remains the same, so that sidebar display in target language and not in original language and so on…

Hi there,

That’s just a name for the sidebar as its identity, it’s not the same as page titles. You will have to create two sidebars ( for 2 languagesPreformatted text with your preferred name ), then assign each sidebar to each post once you switch to your target language.

And please provide your site’s URL and admin login credentials on a secure note, I’d like to check it too :slight_smile:

Thanks!

Hi,
I created a new sidebar, but when I saved the new sidebar with different assignments, it was displayed correctly in its language and the existing sidebar lost the old post assignment in the original language, why?
Thanks.
