copied!<p>I'm not familiar with WPML plugin but if you have language specific categories, you can simply do that:</p> <pre><code>... <ul class="recent-english-posts"> <?php $loop = new WP_Query('cat=' . get_category_by_slug('english')->term_id . '&showposts=3'); if($loop->have_posts()): while($loop->have_posts()): $loop->the_post(); ?> <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li> <?php endwhile; else: ?> No English posts yet! <?php endif; ?> </ul> ... <ul class="recent-spanish-posts"> <?php $loop->query('cat=' . get_category_by_slug('spanish')->term_id . '&showposts=3'); if($loop->have_posts()): while($loop->have_posts()): $loop->the_post(); ?> <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li> <?php endwhile; else: ?> No Spanish posts yet! <?php endif; ?> </ul> ... <ul class="recent-espanol-posts"> <?php $loop->query('cat=' . get_category_by_slug('espanol')->term_id . '&showposts=3'); if($loop->have_posts()): while($loop->have_posts()): $loop->the_post(); ?> <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li> <?php endwhile; else: ?> No Espanol posts yet! <?php endif; ?> </ul> ... </code></pre> <p>By placing this code in your theme <code>sidebar.php</code> you'll hopefully done. But what if you want this as a widget? there are two solutions on my mind: </p> <p>First Solution: As you previously mentioned in your question update, you can fork the core! & change the standard WordPress recent posts widget. Here you go by replacing the original <code>widget()</code> method of the <code>WP_Widget_Recent_Posts</code> class:</p> <pre><code>... function widget($args, $instance) { $cache = wp_cache_get('widget_recent_posts', 'widget'); /* pre-saving language-specific ids for ease of use & code readability ofcourse! */ $cat_ids = array( 'en'=>get_category_by_slug('english')->term_id, 'sp'=>get_category_by_slug('spanish')->term_id, 'es'=>get_category_by_slug('espanol')->term_id ); if ( !is_array($cache) ) $cache = array(); if ( isset($cache[$args['widget_id']]) ) { echo $cache[$args['widget_id']]; return; } ob_start(); extract($args); $title = apply_filters('widget_title', empty($instance['title']) ? __('Recent Posts') : $instance['title']); if ( !$number = (int) $instance['number'] ) $number = 10; else if ( $number < 1 ) $number = 1; else if ( $number > 15 ) $number = 15; /* recent english posts loop */ $r = new WP_Query(array('cat' => $cat_ids['en'], 'showposts' => $number, 'nopaging' => 0, 'post_status' => 'publish', 'caller_get_posts' => 1)); if ($r->have_posts()) : ?> <?php echo $before_widget; ?> <?php if ( $title ) echo $before_title . $title . $after_title; ?> <ul> <?php while ($r->have_posts()) : $r->the_post(); ?> <li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr(get_the_title() ? get_the_title() : get_the_ID()); ?>"><?php if ( get_the_title() ) the_title(); else the_ID(); ?> </a></li> <?php endwhile; ?> </ul> /* recent spanish posts loop */ $r->query(array('cat' => $cat_ids['sp'], 'showposts' => $number, 'nopaging' => 0, 'post_status' => 'publish', 'caller_get_posts' => 1)); if ($r->have_posts()) : ?> <?php echo $before_widget; ?> <?php if ( $title ) echo $before_title . $title . $after_title; ?> <ul> <?php while ($r->have_posts()) : $r->the_post(); ?> <li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr(get_the_title() ? get_the_title() : get_the_ID()); ?>"><?php if ( get_the_title() ) the_title(); else the_ID(); ?> </a></li> <?php endwhile; ?> </ul> /* recent espanol posts loop */ $r->query(array('cat' => $cat_ids['es'], 'showposts' => $number, 'nopaging' => 0, 'post_status' => 'publish', 'caller_get_posts' => 1)); if ($r->have_posts()) : ?> <?php echo $before_widget; ?> <?php if ( $title ) echo $before_title . $title . $after_title; ?> <ul> <?php while ($r->have_posts()) : $r->the_post(); ?> <li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr(get_the_title() ? get_the_title() : get_the_ID()); ?>"><?php if ( get_the_title() ) the_title(); else the_ID(); ?> </a></li> <?php endwhile; ?> </ul> <?php echo $after_widget; ?> <?php wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post(). endif; $cache[$args['widget_id']] = ob_get_flush(); wp_cache_add('widget_recent_posts', $cache, 'widget'); } ... </code></pre> <p>But I do not prefer to use such a solution, changing the core is not a good idea! Also this could be a bad practice due to portability reasons while you can rewrite WordPress widgets! </p> <p>The second, yet preferable solution! In your theme's <code>functions.php</code> place the code below: </p> <pre><code><?php function widget_mytheme_recent_posts(){ ?>  <?php } //end of widget_mytheme_recent_posts() if(function_exists('register_sidebar_widget')) register_sidebar_widget(__('Recent Posts'), 'widget_mytheme_recent_posts'); /* the rest of functions.php code will go here, maybe sidebar registering! */ ?> </code></pre> <p>Hope it help ;)</p>
