Widgets language: any possible solution? | Forum

Hi,
as you will understand for non-english speaking users it is very very important to use Oxwall cms in their language. It's easy with text keys to translate and that's ok.
My problem is that widgets (some of them?) will remain in english only.
I have read on the forum that translating a widget seems almost impossible.
So I will write my problem explained:

1. I'm using dashboard page as welcome page after user login. I'd like to add on top of the page a localized welcome message, depending on the user's own language (as the language selected from the upper toolbar more properly).
2. I tried with custom html widget, including some html code, than translating html code+embedded text in the admin language panel but it doesn't effect when I switch between languages (e.g. from english to italian the text will remain in english).

So, please, if anyone can help, would you suggest me a possible easier way to create a multilingual welcome message in dashboard page, not necessarely a widget?

Creating a plugin? I should need an easy and comprehensive guide maybe.... Thanks!
