MozillaQualityAssurance:l10n checklist

For further information on localization, please visit the L10n wiki. For further information on MoFo QA, please visit our QA wiki.

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
• search bar: Google, Yahoo (unless otherwise approved by Marketing)
• About dlg: date, version
• Help window
• Themes / Extensions dlg (just ensure they appear, with Themes listing the default)
• Bookmarks: NO crew picks! but other locale-specific ones OK
• sidebar: history / bookmarks
• go to another webpage
• Preferences/Options window
• view source
• quickly view 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

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
