Content for textgroup views is not allowed for translation because of its text format

Question

I have this problem with a view's header. I am allowed to enter a translation but the translated text is not rendered when the view is displayed in that language.

I have the following warning in the Views interface.

content for textgroup views is not allowed for translation because of its text format

I read other posts suggesting to visit Configuration » Regional and language » Multilingual settings and verify the text format is selected. These posts were addressing the problem for blocks and they didn't solve my problem.

Any similar experience or solution?

Answer 1

I had the same problem, then found a solution. I'll show you the details with screenshots.

1. First enable Internationalization Views (i18nviews).
2. Create your custom view. For example, I'll simply list the nodes related to Article content type.
3. Add a header:
   1. Click on "add" next to Header section
   2. Add "Global: Text area"
   3. Type your header text, and select your input format. Please note that I selected "Filtered HTML" here!
   4. Click Apply
4. After saving the view, you'll see notice, telling that this header text can not be translated, so in my case:
   "The string views:list_articles:default:header:views:area:content for textgroup views is not allowed for translation because of its text format."
   
5. Go to admin/config/regional/i18n/strings (Home » Administration » Configuration » Regional and language » Multilingual settings » Strings)
6. Check the appropriate text format you used above, when adding a header text, it must be the same - so in my case, it's "Filtered HTML" -, and then click Save configuration.
7. Now go back to your custom view, and on the right dropdown menu, click "translate view":
8. Now you'll see this:
9. Click on one of the "translate" links. After that, you'll see the following screen, and a message that the appropriate string for the header text translation has been created - which means from now on, you can translate it!
10. Scroll down to the appropriate header text, and translate it:
11. After translating, click on "Save translation".
12. On the following screen, you can see that some translations have been saved.
13. Now when switching to the other language, you'll see that the header text is translated! You are READY!

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
