Tue, 11/08/2009 - 16:08
- pofilter quality checks
- Click to get all failures in Pootle
- 3 or 4 crucial tests (XML tags, etc.), otherwise Firefox might not build if such errors exist
- Cosmetic tests (punctuation, double spaces, etc.)
- Encourage the teams to perform all tests
- Some inaccurate guesses that we should warn them about
- The above is called "Technical Review", which is automated
Documentation
The following need to go into our documentation guidelines:
- For testing & review, teams should install the software and go through all menus, dialogues, installer, etc.
- For Firefox, explain how to use the Locale Switcher extension
- Reach out to the community for wider testing and feedback
- How to search for text/terms to review/replace using Pootle
- Language teams will need to suggest fonts and help with keyboard layouts, for other users to be able to test. We need to prepare instrucions for that.
- Document common problems (for Firefox)
- Document examples of what not to translate
- Link to the Translate.org.za's localisation guide
- Document how to change your OS locale (required for Virtaal)
- We will need to explicitly discuss/explain variables and plural forms with language teams.
