[Solved] Cinnamon "Applets" not launching after latest python updates

When I click on Applets it does not launch...
If I start " cinnamon-settings"  from terminal, when I click on Applets I get this error:

Loading Applets module
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/cinnamon-settings.py", line 668, in button_press

    msg_text = _("Update all") + ' (' + ngettext("%d update available", "%d updates available", updates_available) % updates_available  + ')'
NameError: name 'ngettext' is not defined

I believe this is related to python updates???
Does anyone have a solution?
TIA

Thanks!
But I just found the problem, the culprit is/was the auto-update (don't remember the name) applet.
I removed it from the panel and then deleted the directory from "/home/$USER/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/APPPLET-NAME"
Now it works again!
Hope it helps you too

edit: applet name is: Spices Update
