i18n Translation and Views: Header/Footer

Posted by tkrebs on October 13, 2006 at 7:35pm

I'm using views to make a list of nodes, filtering by the language chosen with i18n. This works great!

But I also want to translate the View's Header and Footer, the text that appears before and after the list. Right now I can't figure out anyway to do this besides creating a separate view.

I'm having this same problem with some of the other modules as well, for instance the contact form. Translation works fine on the form labels, but I don't know how to translate the instructions in the form header.

Can anyone think how to do this? Thanks

t() function

Posted by JordiTR on October 18, 2006 at 10:30am

Hi tkrebs, probably your problem is based on the fact that views has not considered to use the t() function to use l10n (localization module) to translate those elements. I've found that on the title of blocks created by views.module on 4.7 and I already found that on the 4.6 version. Look on the code on the parts that create those header and footer elements and add that function.

Simple solution

To translate Views Header I use such simple snippet (Drupal 6.x):

<h1><?php 
    global $language;
    $lc = $language->language;
    if ($lc=="en") print "Photo Gallery";
    if ($lc=="ru") print "Фотогалерея";
    if ($lc=="be") print "Фотагалерэя";
?></h1>

I'm using Views3, it does add

Posted by alexbk66- on June 23, 2011 at 4:12am

I'm using Views3, it does add t() around footer/header. But now my problem is that I have html in my header text, which isn't allowed for translation.

<div class="item-list"><ul><li> <a href="node/add/blog">Create new Hobby entry</a> </li></ul></div>

The submitted string contains disallowed HTML: <div class="item-list"><ul><li> <a href="node/add/blog">Добавить запись Хобби</a> </li></ul></div>

So I wonder if there's another way to translate the text only, and add HTML somehow?

I can confirm above

I can confirm that, it's definitely a problem. You can use different input filters in header/footer and it's more than likely to have html there, or even PHP code. In combination with Features and translations export things can easily mess up. There should be a options to disable unwanted translations.
