# Issue with WPML

 * When running WPML, I only see the pages of the default language listed under 
   the Pages section in the dropdown. Translations of these pages do not appear.
 * So, for example if I select to display a widget on a specific page, when I view
   the translation of this page on the front-end, I am unable to see the widget,
   which means it is being displayed on the original page only, not its translations.
 * What I expect is that the widget automatically shows (or hides) on all translations
   of the page I select. Another option is to list the translated pages along with
   the original ones in the dropdown so that I can select to show/hide the widget
   on the original + its translations (or whatever I decide).
 * Makes sense?

 * Thanks Hassan,
 * We’re using Restrict Widgets along WPML and didn’t noticed the issue. I mean 
   if you create a widget and display it on a selected page it is being displayed
   on all the translations of that page also (unless you enable it for certain language
   only – ther’s an option for that).
 * Your description of how this could work is implemented for Polylang – a WPML 
   alternative. WPML displays only pages in your current admin language (we might
   force that, but a lanugage display option that handles it pretty well I think).
 * However, if it’s not working for you, please post a topic on plugin forum at 
   dfactory, because we might need some login credentials to check that at your 
   site.

 * Hmmm… that’s weird.
 * I was thinking maybe it’s a conflict with another script on my site, so I went
   ahead and tried to replicate this on a fresh installation of WordPress and it
   still happened.
 * Could this perhaps be language-specific? Though I don’t believe it should differ.
   I am testing with two languages: English and Arabic.
 * What I basically did on the test site was that I created a test page in English
   and then added an Arabic translation of it. Then I dropped some widget in some
   sidebar and chose to display it only on that test page.
 * When I viewed the original page on the front-end (English), the widget is there.
   When I switched to its Arabic translation, the widget does not appear.
 * I’m puzzled. Are you able to replicate this scenario?

 * Hi dFactory,
 * I noticed you fixed something related to WPML in the latest release. Was that
   supposed to be a fix for the issue in this thread? Because I’m still experiencing
   it..

 * Yes, but not that what you described below. We’re using RW in a way you described,
   so there must be another factor on your site. As I wrote before, we’d need to
   take a look at your install.
