meta translate

wp-admin -> settings -> Postviews

that is the only place where the text views is used.

I am pretty sure the black portion (you highlighted in red) is not from my plugin

I just did a search for “views:” and it could not be found in the source code. The default template just uses the word “views” without the colon.

yes postviews uses the view to store it, so your theme is the one displaying the custom meta field not the plugin.
