Ambiguous inlaws
The term sister in-law (or others, but I'm using sister since that's what came up) is confusing. Is it your brother's wife, or your spouse's sister? The two should have different terms. Perhaps in-law sister for the former and sister in-law for the latter. I'm sure some would prefer the term, stay out of my marriage you ***** in-law.
Maybe there's already a thread on this.

I have tried to refer to my wife's brother's wife as my sister in-law in-law. My wife thinks this is weird. I think it's just logical.

Whether it is your brother's wife or your wife's sister, they are both b!tches and you should have nothing to do with them.

Well, I call my wife's brother in law my brother in law. There's really not much to argue about in my family as I'm an only child (sort of)

So I just Googled "sister in law in law" to see how common the phrase was. Google told me it found "about 1,630,000 results". Clicking through the pages I find out that there are only 101 actual results. That's quite an "about".

OP, just use the basic convention: 1. Your brother's wife is "sister-in-law-dot," 2. Your wife's sister is "sister-in-law-feather."
