    So I’ve been looking around for quite some time, and I can’t seem to find anything on how to translate the widget titles. Everything else works fine. Any tips?

    Loco Translate is for editing PO files. Widget titles don’t tend to be stored in PO files. If you can’t find the strings you want to translate, that will be why.

    So I will be unable to translate widget titles? Or is there a way i could create a PO file that stores the widget titles?

    Most likely Loco Translate is not going to help you, because most likely your widget titles have not been defined as translatable strings in PO files.

    Or is there a way i could create a PO file that stores the widget titles?

    Yes that is achievable. Widget titles are filtered by WordPress. Code could be written to pull titles from PO files, but I can’t help with that. You’d have to code it yourself.

    The bottom line is that if you’re looking for a plugin to easily translate your widget titles, this is not it.

    Thank You for the information. I will see what I can achieve.

    I’ve made widget title and its fields translatable, provided translations via loco UI, saved, but still see untranslated strings in my admin interface. The same goes for custom menu titles: provided translations, still no translation in admin. What am I missing?

    Thank you!
