 * Hi,
    I’ve the exact same problem as another fellow with the name NOZAHON. The
   widget area stretches over the whole length! The answer he got was by a member
   named:KROZERO. He wrote to add, .header-right-widget{ width: 100px; float: right;}
   in the css file and to add/change the code in html to, <div class=”header-right-
   widget”><?php dynamic_sidebar( ‘header-widget’ ); ?></div> I tried it but nothing.
   Of course i changed the part (‘header-widget’) to the real widgets name and tried
   al kinds of different things, but no results, HELP PLEASE! kind regards

 * So at the top there’s a widget which translates.(Transposh). The current language
   chosen is Dutch. If i would place this plugin in a footer-widget, it wouldn’t
   be stretched across the screen, but a nice and small size of about 4 centimeters.
   I want the Transposh language-selector to be to the left and about 4/5 centimeters
   or to the right and not all across the screen.

 * This would be area number 3. In the picture the selection-bar reads English and
   is stretch completely across the screen! Why? I want the selector to be nice 
   and small to the left or right and big enough to show the name’s of languages
   selected

 * The way your header is laid out makes this difficult, but try this
 *     ```
       li#transposh-5 {
           width: 20%;
           min-width: 200px;
           float: right;
           margin-right: 1em;
       }
       ```
   
 * If you prefer it on the left, use “float: left” and use a margin-left instead.

 * No, it’s not working. I pasted it in the CSS, but nothing happens. If the order
   I want to do it in or just the place makes it so problematic. I want to let you
   now that I’m a Noob and making my first steps in WordPress e.g. I wanted to send
   a picture of the problem, but I still would have to figure out how to place a
   link like you did above.
 * What I simply want to have done is to place a language-selector in the HEADER
   not to close to another widget area or anything else Clearly visible, but not
   completely stretched across the screen

 * The bottom of the CSS file reads:
 * /*
    * Please add your custom styles below */
 * and i pasted it ONE enter below that, at the very bottom of the file!

 * Thank you! You’re the best. It’s now in the rightside of the header, exactly 
   above the profile-selector and log out button, but what if I wanted to make it
   yet just a little smaller, to just a little bigger than the size of the text 
   underneath that reads edit translation and the button selector. Than I would 
   just change the width to 18% in the CSS?

 * Yes. You could also play with font sizes, etc.
