 * Hi,
 * I’m probably missing something but I’m working on a website using the WPML with
   the events manager plugin along with the compatibility plugin. My main language
   is English and the secondary language is French.
 * While a number of things are working I’m finding that the text inside the widgets
   aren’t showing up in the string translation fields (ie if I use the View All 
   Events button at the end of the Events widget how do I change that text to french?).
 * Also on the pages for an individual event listing it shows the French content
   but all of the headings like “Date/Time”, “Locations”, “Category(ies)” are all
   in English. I have the same issue with the table headings and search bar on the
   Events page. Does anybody know how I would translate these items? Is there a 
   po or mo file that I need to add or something?
 * Thanks for any advice.

 * Partial success, I found the translation options in the Format settings!
 * But I’m still unsure of how to translate the widget text.
 * Thanks.

 * hi,
 * Try Appearance > Widgets > events widget > list item format

 * Thanks agelonwl.
 * The text that I need to translate is actually the field directly below that for“
   All events link text?:” after the checkbox for “Show all events link at bottom?”.
   Usually that sort of field would show up in WPML string translation but the contents
   of the widget don’t seem to register.

 * Sadly at the moment that sort of text won’t be translated.
 * The easiest possibility I can think of now would be to have two sidebars, one
   for each language, and create a widget with the relevant text for each one. Not
   sure if there’s something WPML provides or there’s another plugin that lets this
   happen.

 * Thanks Marcus.
 * I’ll try using the Widget Logic suggestion from this thread:

 * and see how it goes.
