When configuring my block, I choose "Translate title and content".
When in interface translation, group block, I just have the context "block:1:title", which is great to translate the title.
But quid of block body?

Now it's OK.

I did not pay enough attention to message "The string blocks:block:1:body for textgroup blocks is not allowed for translation because of its text format", when saving the block. So the body was not to be seen in admin/config/regional/translate/translate, block text group.
We have to manage correctly translatable text format at url /admin/config/regional/i18n/strings. If block text format is filtered html and
translatable text format is just plain text, the block is not selected for translation.

For those (unlike myself) that aren't interested in the theory, try Translating block content. :)

Sure, patches, welcomed, postponed until then.

We really have many other more pressing issues to fix.

OK: I'll self-assign in hopes of getting to this (making a patch) in a few months :), yes its minor but may save more hours that it takes me to make a patch :)

This helps for webforms:

Content --> Webforms --> Formname --> Edit --> Tab "Webform" --> Form settings --> (scroll down) Section "Preview Page"

  • Activate in section "Preview Page" the checkbox "enable preview page"
  • Set Textformat to "Plain text"
  • Save configuration
  • Open again section "Preview Page" and deactivate the checkbox "enable preview page"
  • Save configuration
