Translate views "Title"

Posted by Oghnia on April 3, 2008 at 7:43pm

I really can't believe that I am stuck at this point,,,, this should have been very simple..

I created a view with a list of all employees in the company - easy,,, now I gave a title for this page which is "Our Team" which will be displayed at the top of the views page with the employees list under...

now we go to the French section and guess what the title of this page is "Our Team" and it looks like there is not way of changing to the French version...

everything else is fine.. I read about creating a block with that information but when you use a block you can't use the RSS or the multipage features..

-------------***********-------------- more details

OK,, localizer is installer and its running perfectly...

now,, when I create a new view and I select "Provide Page View" as my view option,,,

now in that page there is a field called "Title:"
now this should be the title of the views once the page is displayed with the results..

what I don't see is how we can translate this title into different language

I thought "Localizer strings translation" will be able to translate it it but it doesn't work..

is there a way to get this field translated?

Thanks

I dont know how this is done

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.

There is another "non elegant" solution, it's to write your title in the title fieldset instead of the title textfield in your view.

In the fieldset you can choose the input format, so you can put php in it and make :

<?php
print t("my translatable title");
?>

then you can translate your title by going in the translation string form.

Custom theme function

Posted by Pawel Gawlowski on August 7, 2008 at 8:08am

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.

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

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.

Posted by llribas on July 22, 2009 at 6:38pm

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

At least for my Drupal 6.15 and Views 6.x-2.8.

My method is a little different:

1. In the view Header (in the view Basic settings) I put:

<?php
 $view->page_title = t($view->page_title);
?>

(With < php tags )

2. Check "PHP code" under "Input format".
3. Save the view and display it in target language.
4. Go to admin/build/translate/search (Administer » Site building » Translate interface)
5. Search for the title - now it's there! Translate the string as usual.

Notice: Undefined variable: view in eval() (line 2 of /home/steve/domains/drupal-7.8.test/public_html/modules/php/php.module(74) : eval()'d code).

I tried to find out in which variable that information would be but I found nothing.

Posted by nadavoid on September 26, 2009 at 2:55am

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.

Which one is 'Views Translation Module'?

Posted by blueblade on November 1, 2009 at 4:35pm

I looked at the page but saw nothing is named 'Views Translation Module', can you please let me know which module you are talking about exactly? sorry for asking such stupid question and thanks for your help.

1. Placed title in the view as you would normally.
2. Then went to /admin/build/translate/search, type in the title I just entered, select view, and click search.
3. I got a list of places where the title appeared and needs translation.
4. Translate and save then refresh the view and it should have worked.

Remove your block titles

Posted by filmoreha on December 10, 2009 at 8:12am

Hi there, took me a bit as well. I am not sure if you eventually figured it out, but you do need to remove titles manually entered via the Block Edit page.

Lemme rephrase this a bit.
When you make a Block w/ Views with a title that needs to be translated, give it a title from within Views UI.
Then when you go to enable the block, just make sure the title field is empty. You can then do a search via the translation interface and translate it and it should work. ( of course u need to have the Views Translation Module enabled)

just translate the string

Posted by espurnes on March 21, 2011 at 4:56pm

Hi,
in drupal 6.19 or 6.20 it's easy as follow the steps frozensage has said:

1.- write a title in the view
2.- go to /admin/build/translate/search, type the title and press enter
3.- select the proper string from the list and translate it

Fantastic, thanks!

Posted by citronica on March 23, 2011 at 12:38am

Perfect! This also works in D7, expect the path is /admin/config/regional/translate/translate

Note that the string search is case sensitive.

Works in drupal 7

Works like a charm, even in D7

Sorry can't remember, but I think its packaged with the i18n module.

Posted by acura on February 16, 2010 at 9:49am

Just go to translate interface, then search for the term u want to translate,add the 2nd language then save.
I noticed that you need to research for it (wht u you have just translated ) to work.

Beware overridden title

Posted by jdench on July 14, 2010 at 2:29am

This worked OK for some views, not others. First I couldn't find the string for one view title. I thought it might be because the title was not on default view. Anyway after some fiddling around (not sure what was solution), I found string in translation interface and translated. But then, alas, no difference on the actual page. Eventually I figured out that the Page title was overriding the Default title. When I made the Page the same as the Default the translated string finally appeared as expected on the French page.

Feasible

Posted by ain on February 18, 2010 at 9:47am

Feasible solution, worked for me just fine. Should be somewhat bearable for the end user as well. Thanks.

Recomiendo esta solución

Posted by pedro_enrique on December 23, 2011 at 5:03am

Yo recomiendo esta solución, para mi funcionó perfectamente. Solo asegúrense de actualizar todo una vez que instalen Views Translation, desde los campos del titulo en la vista, la propia vista y sobre todo refresquen los textos en el traductor de interfaz antes de buscar lo que deseen traducir. Recuerden limitar la búsqueda por vistas.

worked for me

Posted by 2dareis2do on January 23, 2012 at 12:54pm

Excellent - just need to work out how to translate the path now.

Many thx

Internationalization Views module

Posted by drifter on August 24, 2010 at 11:39am

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

http://drupal.org/project/i18nviews

All steps

Posted by drifter on August 24, 2010 at 12:13pm

And just to note all the steps:

download the i18n and i18nviews modules and enable i18nviews + dependencies
if you have a pre-existing view, go in and edit the title, just re-saving the view doesn't seem to work
the title should be in the SITE DEFAULT LANGUAGE
go to /admin/build/translate/search and search for the string, you should find it and be able to translate it

Also, should refresh strings

Posted by Dragan Eror on November 17, 2010 at 11:00pm

Also, should refresh strings at admin/build/translate/refresh (Views check box).
After it you can search for stings.

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.

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

Posted by luco on November 13, 2012 at 10:08am

go to the Modules page. it's in Multilingual - Internationalization › Views translation.

once enabled, go to Configuration › Regional and language › Translate interface › Translate. the Limit search to dropdown should have a new option called "Views", so you can filter Views strings.

cheers

Posted by apprayo on November 29, 2012 at 7:49am

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.

And if the title is %1?

Posted by MauMau on December 14, 2012 at 10:10am

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!i18n_taxonomy.module/function/i18n_taxonomy_localize_terms/7
to get the right headline for the view.

But isn't there a smarter way?
