Help to edit the Recent Posts Wordpress widget to diplay in all 3 languages at once

I want the feed of recent post titles to show in the sidebar for all 3 languages, separated by language. So, for example, under Recent Posts the sidebar would have "English" and then the latest 3 posts in English, then "Español" and the latest 3 in Spanish and then French. All in a list in the column and appearing on all pages with the sidebar in all languages.
I am using the most current version of Wordpress with the WPML plugin.
I believe the Wordpress widget for Recent Posts needs to be tweaked to do this. Here is the code (from wp-includes/default-widgets.php):
class WP_Widget_Recent_Posts extends WP_Widget {
function WP_Widget_Recent_Posts() {
$widget_ops = array('classname' => 'widget_recent_entries', 'description' => __( "The most recent posts on your blog") );
$this->WP_Widget('recent-posts', __('Recent Posts'), $widget_ops);
$this->alt_option_name = 'widget_recent_entries';
add_action( 'save_post', array(&$this, 'flush_widget_cache') );
add_action( 'deleted_post', array(&$this, 'flush_widget_cache') );
add_action( 'switch_theme', array(&$this, 'flush_widget_cache') );
}
function widget($args, $instance) {
$cache = wp_cache_get('widget_recent_posts', 'widget');
if ( !is_array($cache) )
$cache = array();
if ( isset($cache[$args['widget_id']]) ) {
echo $cache[$args['widget_id']];
return;
}
ob_start();
extract($args);
$title = apply_filters('widget_title', empty($instance['title']) ? __('Recent Posts') : $instance['title']);
if ( !$number = (int) $instance['number'] )
$number = 10;
else if ( $number < 1 )
$number = 1;
else if ( $number > 15 )
$number = 15;
$r = new WP_Query(array('showposts' => $number, 'nopaging' => 0, 'post_status' => 'publish', 'caller_get_posts' => 1));
if ($r->have_posts()) : ?>
<?php echo $before_widget; ?>
<?php if ( $title ) echo $before_title . $title . $after_title; ?>
<ul>
<?php while ($r->have_posts()) : $r->the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr(get_the_title() ? get_the_title() : get_the_ID()); ?>"><?php if ( get_the_title() ) the_title(); else the_ID(); ?> </a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
<?php echo $after_widget; ?>
<?php
wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
endif;
$cache[$args['widget_id']] = ob_get_flush();
wp_cache_add('widget_recent_posts', $cache, 'widget');
}
function update( $new_instance, $old_instance ) {
$instance = $old_instance;
$instance['title'] = strip_tags($new_instance['title']);
$instance['number'] = (int) $new_instance['number'];
$this->flush_widget_cache();
$alloptions = wp_cache_get( 'alloptions', 'options' );
if ( isset($alloptions['widget_recent_entries']) )
delete_option('widget_recent_entries');
return $instance;
}
function flush_widget_cache() {
wp_cache_delete('widget_recent_posts', 'widget');
}
function form( $instance ) {
$title = esc_attr($instance['title']);
if ( !$number = (int) $instance['number'] )
$number = 5;
?>
<p><label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('title'); ?>"><?php _e('Title:'); ?></label>
<input class="widefat" id="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('title'); ?>" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name('title'); ?>" type="text" value="<?php echo $title; ?>" /></p>
<p><label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('number'); ?>"><?php _e('Number of posts to show:'); ?></label>
<input id="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('number'); ?>" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name('number'); ?>" type="text" value="<?php echo $number; ?>" size="3" /><br />
<small><?php _e('(at most 15)'); ?></small></p>
<?php
}
}
