Multi Multilingual menus

Hi sorry for the tongue in cheek subject…

I have a functional bilingual navbar with a language switching menu configured in the config.yaml file. My problem is I want to also add a sidebar and perhaps a 3rd menu. But as soon as I configure some menu in addition to Menus:main, ie as below Menus:sidebar, the main menu will not longer display. Does this have something to do with range .Site.Menus.main? I’m just not figuring this one out. Any insight much appreciated.

The menu is generated in baseof.html as so:

  <nav class="nav blog-nav bg-primary">
      {{- $currentPage := . -}}
      {{ range .Site.Menus.main}}
      {{ $menuURL := .URL | absLangURL }}
      <a class="nav-link{{ if or ($currentPage.IsMenuCurrent "main" .) ($currentPage.HasMenuCurrent "main" .) }} active{{end}}" href="{{ .URL }}" title="
      {{ end }}
    </nav>

My config file has:

Languages:
  en:
    languageCode: en
    languageName: English
    title: Title here
    weight: 1
    menu:
      main:
      - name:  français
        weight: 2
        identifier: post
        url: "/fr"
      - name: "Home"
        weight: 1
        identifier: home
        url: "/"
    menu:
      sidebar:
      - name: stuff 
        weight: 1
        identifier: infos 
        url: "/stuff"
  fr:
    languageCode: fr
    LanguageName: Français
    weight: 2
    title: 
    description:
    menu:
      main:
