L10n UI Focus Areas for Localizers

There were several areas with string changes in beta 8, and one of the most visible areas is Sync. In general, give it a good spot check to make sure functionality works as advertised. If you see localization problems please contact Pascal Chevrel. For any functionality problems file a bug and contact juanb or let someone know in [irc:irc.mozilla.org #qa]

L10n Spot Checks (Mozilla QA)

We will spot check one tier 1 locales per platform. Please check with QA lead or l10n driver should there be new locales in this release.

In combination with l10n checks we'll run a few spot checks while using Sync.

If you file a bug, please add "[4b8]" without the quotes on the Whiteboard field so we can query the bugs filed during this testing cycle.

Browse around in the localized version, test some of its functionality, then setup a dummy Sync account. Here are some scenarios.

• Sync from PC using 4.0b7 -> Sync to Device -> Update to 4.0b8 -> Sync back from Device
• Sync from PC using 4.0b7 -> Update to 4.0b8 -> Sync to Device
• Sync from PC using 4.0b7 -> Sync to Device -> Sync to PC using 4.0b8
• We should through varying platforms into the mix too:
  • Start with B7, Sync as per below, Update to B8, repeat
  • Windows -> Mac -> Linux -> Mac -> Windows
  • Windows -> Device -> Mac -> Device -> Linux -> Device -> Windows
