Sorry :( I've always used computers in english only (not sure why, maybe historical reasons, when I got started nothing was available in spanish so I just got used to english). Is there any way we could run at least the per-merge-request tests with a different locale? for instance, we could (as part of one of the provisioning scripts) install the languages the teams are fluent in (polish, chinese, spanish, french; we have at least 2 people fluent in each of those, and we could add a few more languages with at least one speaker) and run the test suite for each. We can make this conditional to the langpack being installed so things don't fail horribly for people who are testing locally and don't want 10 foreign languages intstalled. This would be done once the container is provisioned; say, in each provider's requirements/container-tests-blah script, you'd: ./manage.py validate for blah in list_of_locales; do LANG=blah LANGUAGE=blah ./manage.py validate done This would add seconds to the test run and still provide good reporting I think. Maybe something more elaborate than manage.py validate is needed, but the base idea would be the same. Doing this for languages we can understand would make it easier to spot problems; e.g. I could probably tell you if a sentence is translated to japanese or arabic based on the squigglies, but if the text's meaning makes no sense, I couldn't really tell that. - Daniel > > Best regards > ZK > > [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/plainbox/+bug/1438322 > > -- > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~checkbox-dev > Post to : [email protected] > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~checkbox-dev > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~checkbox-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~checkbox-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
