Excerpt

Mozmill L10n Tests will allow us to check for common problems found in localized Firefox builds, which are often hard to find for the localizers themselves. Doing L10n tests on all localized builds manually is extremely time consuming, so this will allow us to automatically test things which cannot be tested with compare-locales. It is planned to link in the future to the results of that tests on the L10n Dashboard.

This project aims to create the Mozmill L10n Tests and a shared L10n module.

Project details

The project aims to focus mainly on two types of localization tests:

  • testing for cut off text in windows in cases where the localized text was too long
  • testing for not properly working access keys (usually doubled or tripled access keys)

Such tests cannot be performed with tools working just with source files (e.g.: compare-locales), they have to be done with Mozmill.

An important goal is also to first create a shared L10n module for the above tests.

Status

The status of L10n Mozmill tests as of September, 28th 2010:

  • DomUtilitiesAPI (including DOMWalker) is in the review process
  • L10nAPI will get the first review request by tomorrow
  • Both tests for the preferences window are nearly finished and already finding bugs in every tested locale
  • The tests for the software update window are on hold, as this window is being rewritten

Filing a Bug

We have prepared a template which makes the creation of a bug as easy as possible.
