Astra Widget Translation with Polylang
Astra provides widget options in the Header and Footer and the widget translation works differently in Poylang. This document will show you how you can translate Astra widgets with Poylang.
Before moving further, please check this help document to learn more about making Astra multilingual with Polylang.
Widget translation with Poylang
With Polylang, you get the option to choose the language for each widget, allowing you to display specific widgets in different languages.
Translating the widgets in Polylang became different with the introduction of Block widgets in WordPress 5.8. This affects all the widget’s placement including the Astra Header Footer and Sidebar.
The ability to select languages for Block widgets is available only with the Polylang Pro plugin installed. Without Polylang Pro, you can only translate Legacy or Classic widgets.
How to Translate Astra Widgets with Polylang?
You can follow the below steps to translate with widgets added to the Astra Header, Footer, or Sidebar with Polylang.
For the Legacy or Classic Widgets:
1. Navigate to the Customizer and add the widgets to the Header, Footer, or Sidebar according to the requirements.

2. For the Legacy widgets such as Navigation Menu, Meta, etc. you get the option to select the language
3. You can add multiple such widgets and select the Language condition accordingly.

4. You can also translate the Classic widget’s text from the string translation section of Poylang as shown in the below screenshot:

For the Block Widgets:
1. Add the widgets to the website using Astra Header, Footer, or to the sidebar and publish the changes in the customizer.
2. Install the Polylang Pro plugin if you haven’t already installed it.

3. Navigate to WP Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets and select the widget placement where the widgets are added. Such as Footer Builder Widget 3 or Main Sidebar, etc.

4. Now, select the widget that you want to translate. In the right panel, you will see the option to select the language for the widget.

7. Save the changes and the widgets shall appear according to the selected language.
You may repeat the same process with all the widgets. If you wish to not use the Poylang Pro then you may need to switch the widgets to the Classic Widgets.
Please note the above guide is for only the widgets. The other translation shall work as usual. You may check this article to learn more about translating Astra Strings with Poylang.
