http://localhost/en/admin/structure/views/view/news/translate

The methods explained here work for both Drupal 6 and 7. When a difference exists it is outlined.

There're several reasons you might need to translate the default language, for example:

• You need to change a few strings depending on the dialect spoken or because of personal preference.
• You need to change the default language but it will probably break translations because they are based on default language.

Strings overrides in settings.php

This method is provided by drupal core and doesn't require any extra module (even locale.module).
