Block based widgets, no translation per widget?

  • I’m using gutenberg plugin as well, noticed there’s no way to translate the widgets as there is in the older widget system, or am I missing something?

    I’m talking about the widgets screen under appearance, just to be clear.

    The only quick solution I see right now is to create separate widgets areas for each language and load them based on current language?

    Thanks!

  • Noticed the same. The language options are gone it seems. This block-based widget style is clearly thought out by single language developers.
    This is so often the case with WordPress – as if the whole world speaks English and translations are not necessary.

    Yes, I just created widget areas for each language but it looks like the latest version of the pro has added this:

    Pro: Allow to filter blocks by language in the widget block editor

    However this use to be free feature.

    In Gutenberg Phase 4, WP core will have a native multilingual solution! They are just not rushing it since there is a bunch of solutions currently on the market that work well.

    But this will be good for performance and no longer having to rely on external plugin.
