L10N P1 Spotchecks
Visual inspection: Go through the P1 list of locales, and run a spotcheck to see if everything visually looks fine. Refer to L10N Requirements for more specifics.
Automation: We'll use 2.0.0.9 to create the Minotaur reference files.
P1 Locales to be tested:
- English (en-GB) not available, localizer not ready
 - French (fr) PASS
 - German (de) PASS
 - Japanese (ja) PASS
 - Polish (pl) PASS
 - Spanish (es-ES) PASS
 
I put all the beta1 available P1's through a Minotaur check against 2.0.0.9. That looked good; nothing glaringly bad jumped out at me. However, I need to get those files loaded up somewhere so Axel and Mic can have a look.
Testcases and Results are tracked here.
