Detailed Test Results

What to test:

1. Run through the pages for each available/completed locale
2. Make sure that the pages look OK in Right To Left languages, which are:
   1. he, ar, fa
3. Make sure that if we display a Download Now box somewhere, the box is big enough for the translated text
4. If we have a screenshot, see if it makes sense to have it localized (Thunderbird interface and web page displayed)
   1. Tier one locales should have:
      1. Localized text
      2. Localized websites in the screenshot
      3. Worry about seeing Windows Vista screenshots primarily, but check for Mac screenshots on the tier 1 locales
   2. Tier two locales:
      1. To prioritize, ensure that their whatsnew pages are localized first
   3. Tier three locales:
      1. Best effort, as time allows
5. See if all links work correctly, we often provide redirects to Mozilla Europe/Japan/China for pages like the release notes
6. Testing of any locale fallback mechanism we put on the pages, make sure that we do not send people to non-translated resources if we have a translated one
7. Ensure XHTML Strict 1.0 validation
   1. W3C validator
8. Localized page titles

Tier 1 (to get us started):

Page-localization status:

http://l10n.mozilla.org/webdashboard/?project=6

L10n specific checklist

• check that the page title (that appears in the title bar is translated)
• check that if the page has a 'meta description' tag, it is translated
• check that pages are in utf8
• check that the header/footer are translated, they pick strings from the main.lang file
• check that download box text is translated
• check that text does not overflow download boxes or other non-fluid parts of the layout
• for rtl, check that the design is not broken
• any css/markup fix after localization has started should result in testing localized pages (a couple of ltr locales plus a rtl one). If the design is broken, it should be fixed by the web designer or a bug filed
• for tier1 locales, check that we have localized screenshots
• make sure that if we support a locale on mozillamessaging.com, getthunderbird.com redirects users of this language to a localized page and not en-US
