Below are quick checklists when certifying localized builds for release. It's important to note that such certification does '''not''' include the following, due to limited resources:
* quality of translation
* coverage of every string throughout the UI
* behavior/functionality of everything

==For Firefox==
* installation, new profile, migration
* default homepage to Google start page for new profiles
* search bar: Google and Yahoo (unless otherwise approved by Marketing) must be listed 1st and 2nd, respectively
* About dialog: date, version
* Help window should appear, although not necessarily localized
* Themes / Extensions dlg (just ensure they appear, with Themes listing the default)
* Bookmarks: NO "crew picks"! But other locale-specific ones are acceptable
* sidebar: history / bookmarks
* go to another webpage
* Preferences/Options window
* view source
* quickly go through menu items and/or couple of context menus
* find toolbar
* check about:config for '''app.update.url''' string: it should point to <locale>.rdf, not en-US.rdf
* check for Talkback, located under '''<install_location>/components/talkback/'''

==For Thunderbird==
* installation, new profile, migration
* all basic windows:
** main 3pane
** mail compose
** mail standalone
** view source
** address book; also check AB card dialog
* About dlg: date, version
* Help window
* Themes / Extensions dlg (just ensure they appear, with Themes listing the default)
* Mail Account Settings dialog
* Preferences/Options window
* quickly view menu items and/or couple of context menus
* check for Talkback
