Translate views "Title"

I dont know how this is done with localizer module I'm using i18n modul. The non-elegant workaround that I'm useing is to create same views with different titles for different languages and than showing tham inserted in a node (that can have a translated partner node) or in the case of block views I place them in multilingual blocks (under Block menu)
I also found this
http://agaricdesign.com/note/views-titles-and-text-and-i18n-preliminary-...
but haven't tried it yet.

More elegant way of translating view's title and lables would be great.

Hi, my solution is to write a custom theme function for views in your phptemplete file.
For example:
function phptemplate_views_view_table($view, $nodes, $type)

where you copy content of original function and add one line:
drupal_set_title(t($view->title));

You can also translate table columns in same manner.

Another non-elegant solution is to not show the title for the views block/page at all, but instead use the header section of the views block/page.

<h2>
<?php print t('Your translateable title'); ?>
</h2>

For this to work you also must enable PHP-code as an input format for the header.

It amounts to duplicating your view so you have one per language, with localized titles, headers, footers and using the insert_view input filter pull the view content into a page.

Outlined here: http://www.computerminds.co.uk/multilingual-views-drupal-when-using-i18n...

1. in the "Argument Handling Code":
   $view->page_title = t($view->page_title);
2. you put a title in the "Title" field for your view (this is going to be the title in english)
3. visit at least one time the view url (view page), just to let the system catch the new string (the title)
4. go to "Admin -> Localization -> Manage strings" and search and translate the titles strings

I believe the solution that you're looking for is built into the i18n package. http://drupal.org/project/i18n

1. Install Views Translation module.
2. Re-save the field in views that you want to translate. (Title field, etc.)
3. Go to the Translation interface (admin/build/translate/search), leave the search box empty, select "views", click Search, and you should now see the string from views that you need to translate.

Note: searching for the text you want to translate will work too. But searching for the "coded" string (such as "gallery:default:title") doesn't.

There's a new i18n views module that got split off from i18n, you need that too nowadays:

http://drupal.org/project/i18nviews

subscribing ;)

Don't forget to clear the cache if you are seeing views titles not translating.

This is an old issue but people keep coming back to this thread, so here's a summary:

You can translate the title of your multilingual view by using the Internationalization views module.

Documentation:

• HowTo: Basic Internationalization setup has some views configuration information
• Compatibility with contributed modules explains some conflicts between i18n and views
• Related modules lists modules related to i18n besides the i18n package

I still can't get this to work. I installed the i18nviews module, but it's nowhere to be found in the module list. How do I enable this module?

Go to: admin/config/regional/translate/i18n_string, check 'Menu', and click 'Refresh strings'.
Then the newly created menu items will be included in the search results when you want to translate them.

Hope this helps.

==============

Edit: my assumption is that the view title also goes to the menu item.

I have a view on a multilingual site showing taxonomy terms.

I use http://drupal.org/project/i18nviews and have changed the taxonomy term name field
from: taxonomy term name
to: taxonomy term name (translated)

It works rather well.

Yet I have another view that is causing me problems.

It's showing nodes tagged with a certain taxonomy term.

Title: %1 (<-- the taxonomy term name, obviously never translated)
Format: Unformatted list | Settings 

In english it gives my headlines like

apple
orange
banana

In german it gives my headlines like

apple
orange
banana

Even if the terms have been translated.

I can see how I could make a new template/module that used
http://drupalcontrib.org/api/drupal/contributions!i18n!i18n_taxonomy!i18...
to get the right headline for the view.

But isn't there a smarter way?

I always fix this with a small module:

function MYMODULE_views_pre_render(&$view) {
    if ($view->name == 'VIEW_NAME' && $view->current_display == 'DISPLAY_NAME') {
            $view->build_info['title'] = t('MY TITLE');
    }
}

Then I can go to 'translate interface' and translate the title.

In template.php:

<?php
function THEME_views_pre_render(&$view)  {
  $view->set_title(t($view->get_title()));
}
?>

Then translate the title in the translate interface.

Use the string translation admin interface of the view title for other language!

http://example.com/admin/config/regional/translate/translate

I've spent some time to find the solution to translate a view title. Finally, it's very easy.

You don't need any custom.

My context is : a french site to translate in english. The default language is French.

i18n is installed and enabled.

The view string appears in regional translation (strings). I've just discovered that unless the default language is french, the french title appears in englih string. My conclusion is that views have their own default langage which is english.

So first I've edited the views and modified their title, translating them into english.
In a second step, the english title appeared in the regional translation interface and I could translate it into french.

no custom was needed.

I hope this will help.
