It's not a bug... It means that that label is not yet translated.
Feel free to help translating the skin at Transifex:

Is it possible to make at least the 'c' and 'i' buttons work on any item in a widget when that item is part of the Kodi library (movie, tv, music, pvr)? Currently the 'i' button works on movies and tv but not pvr and music items. I don't think the 'c' button works on any widget.

If so, does it also happen with extrafanart disabled ? Extrafanart always takes some time to load as it is retrieved directly from disk, that may explain the latency. I can't reproduce it on my system atm.

So, this is more than an 'overlap' issue.Will be fixed in next version. If there are no flags available, or the flags are disabled or the flags-style is set to classic the title will be displayed.

I am gathering from some of the more recent posts you have made that you are working on a more consistent scheme for driving updates of the widgets -- perhaps this will help.I've reworked the entire skinhelper code this weekend which is responsible for providing the widgets. Not only the widgets load way faster now, they're also more accurate in updating. I will provide a new beta version of the skin + skinhelper addon today or tomorrow.

Even more: it's starting to get a bit complicated with all the possible items that can be displayed on the screen in headers and footers, but would it be possible to set a set of three positions for each of the header and footer and for each position have a 'radio selection' of one of each possible item (weather, clock, logo, media/codec, studio/rating, page title, media/video/music title, etc). That way a user can make a selection of all items in any position -- ultimate flexibility even if duplication of items is desired. And to make things more complicated a similar selection mechanism for complex items (e.g. which media/codec info is desired). I am sure this may require considerable refactoring of the UI and perhaps even the xml based skin variables 'behind' the UI, so please consider it a 'dream' at this point.Yeah, I've been thinking about this too but I need to find a way to not overcomplicate tsuff. I took a first shot at this with the header, let's see how that goes and maybe I can use the same approach for the footer too.

Load Kodi. Before the widgets populate, go into Power menu and go to Settings. I then proceeded into the Add-ons menu. I backed all the way to the home screen and there was nothing. Widgets don't reload and the side menu is completely gone.

So I deleated bot and let the skin install the Skin Helper again and now it seems all is fine, though not sure how I got 2 Skin Helper files!!! Cheers for your help, was appricated.

I share the same feelings as this user. It feels really weird to have a year follow the names of albums and songs, especially if the year follows a title that ends in (or is) a year. Example: If I want to listen to The Smashing Pumpkins' "1979" from the music widget, the tag will display "1979 1995". In general, the thumb of the file and a title should be enough to identify just about everything properly. Note that this applies to tags in general, not just in the widget.
