Hi,
My site's default language is French (fr) but English is enabled.
When I create a view and add text to footer or add a menu item for the view, a translatable string is automatically created.
But the string is created as an en string translatable is french and not the opposite.

The current mechanism only allows you to create Views in the default language, which is English, which would then have to be translated into French. The current t() system only supports unidirectional translation, so the tool I'm using doesn't allow anything else.

You could possibly work around this by creating a en variant so that you have an opportunity to translate the french to french (i.e, don't translate) and then translate to the english variant, I suppose.

There's also a patch in the works by Nedjo that will add new functionality to this system by allowing i18n to actually provide translation plugins. See http://drupal.org/node/357529 and maybe offering whatever assistance you can will help facilitate this concept moving forward.

Thank you very much for your information.
I didn't know that views were always created in English even if another language is set as the default language.

Thank you also for the link to the patch!
