Testing / Review / Validation

OpenID login failed.
  • 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.
