I just translated a view for fun and it is a pretty massive form. I think we should get some usability people to look at this and discuss this upfront. I don't think anyone is trying to argue that this is actually a nice form, the question is just whether we can make it any better.

To test this yourself use this link on simplytest.me:
http://simplytest.me/project/drupal/8.x?patch[]=https://drupal.org/files...
* Don't use English as the install language, but a different one. This saves you from having to add a language manually.
* Enable "Configuration Translation" module.
* Go to the frontpage. The frontpage view should now have a "Translate view" contextual link (If this instruction confuses you, do the following: Click the pencil in the very top right corner of the screen. Now click the pencil that showed up to the right of the " Welcome to s4c5af6124797fd2.s3.simplytest.me " site name. You should now see a "Translate view" link.)
* Click the translate view link
* You should see a list of two languages: English, and the one you installed in. Click the Edit link for the not-English one.
* You should now see a sea of nested details :-)

  • Usability

    Makes Drupal easier to use. Preferred over UX, D7UX, etc.

  • D8MI

    (Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative) is the tag used by the multilingual initiative to mark core issues (and some contributed module issues). For versions other than Drupal 8, use the i18n (Internationalization) tag on issues which involve or affect multilingual / multinational support. That is preferred over Translation.

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
