Internationalisation in sidebar

Hello, I have two issues... one simple, one (probably) not so.

The first is that I would like the Page Links List to be right aligned instead of left, could you add that option please? Otherwise I have to just manually update the stylesheet, but an option would be useful for others as well.

Second: I'm using this theme together with qTranslate for English and German pages. The center text translates just fine, but I can't get the sidebar text internationalised... putting text into the plain text widget like <?php _e("<!--:en-->english text<!--:--><!--:de-->german text<!--:-->"); ?> (or without the PHP Tag) doesn't get accepted (it's rewritten on Save Changes). What's the best way to accomplish this? I basically want the sidebar displayed on selective pages, and I don't mind making my own somehow manually.

The raw HTML widget doesn't work either, the text still gets processed and eaten.

Thanks,
Nils
