hello everyone...

I'm trying to work on a spanish paper, and my translate widget all of a sudden decided to corrupt. I've been searching the web for an hour and I've got the biggest headache. I can't find anything. I've tried restarting, and I've trashed the plist files com.apple.dashboard.plist and com.apple.dashboard.client.plist. neither have done a damn thing for my widget. does anyone know what to do? gah!!
 
Do you have this problem?

If so, you're deleting the wrong plist file... you want this one:

widget-com.apple.widget.translation.plist

The widgets have their own prefs files -- the ones you're trying to delete handle Dashboard's overall behavior, not any aspects of individual widgets.
 
wow thank you so much! i had no idea each widget had it's own plist file. you were a huge help!
