Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.
I found the reason.
The English term "List" appears in the views UI in two different contexts: For the list of all views ("Alle anzeigen") and for the display type ("Liste").
That may be a problem for many languages.
In the first context the English term should be changed to "Views list", just "Views", or something.
Using 'List' for the list page is consistent with the rest of core. See admin/content/types where the default tabe is 'List' -- and that's just the first one I looked at.
Translating List to All Views is probably wrong.
Probably the term for 'List' style type is wrong. Perhaps it should be HTML List or something else to distinguish it.

mindgame commentedIt's in "views/translations/de.po":
#: views_ui.module:29
#: includes/plugins.inc:88;116
msgid "List"
msgstr "Alle anzeigen"
Correct:
#: views_ui.module:29
#: includes/plugins.inc:88;116
msgid "List"
msgstr "Liste"
