In the multisite context, creating widgets that are used throughout all of the sites in a network can be difficult and painstaking (at best). 
This plugin gives network administrators the ability to create “fallback widgets” that will be used as the default unless over-ridden by individual sites.
How the plugin works
<ul>
<li>When a widget is created on the “main site” (e.g. site ID 1) the output is cached.</li>
<li>When a sites other than the “main site” (e.g. site ID != 1) call a sidebar that doesn’t have any active widgets, the cached output from the main site will be used.</li>
<li>The plugin may not (read as “probably won’t”) work with highly dynamic widgets</li>
<li>This is the initial release, so please try it out before you use it in a live site.</li>
</ul>

Network Sidebar Widgets

Enables Multisite Networks to create "fallback" widgets that can be used across-network when sites don't have any widgets.

Multisite Language Switcher

Do I have to add anything else?

Made my life (a lot) easier!

It does exactly what it should

I have been using this plugin in combination with MslsMenu for more than 7 years now. 

For me this is a simple, yet absolutely perfect solution for any multilingual WordPress site. Very easy to use. Easily linking cross-blog pages together without having to worry about any third-party plugin compatibility. 

Its simplicity allows website admins full control over the content of each individual blog. Perfect if not all your blogs offer the exact same content, like country-restricted services such as gift cards or house calls or payment methods.

WordPress MultiSite handles all settings per blog and with MultiSite Language Switcher you can use different date/time formatting, even different email addresses, etc. tailored to the blog's locale. 

Thank you very much for providing the perfect solution, Dennis!

The prefect, simple solution!

A simple, powerful and easy-to-use plugin that will help you to manage multilingual content in a multisite WordPress installation.
