Hi Yifan, it is great that you found time to work on Moztrap again.

Yes, the UI localization is slightly less important because people do the same actions over and over.

The steps are compact for one language. The pity thing is that it does not use the nice Moztrap feature where you see "Step" and "Expected Results" next to each other. I wonder how it would look if we translate the steps, results inside each box. I mean to a syntax like: Step1: Result: [en] launch Libreoffice Base [en] the database application the database wizard opens [fr] lancement LibreOffice Base [fr] l'application de base de données apparaît, l'assistant base de données s'ouvre Step2: [en] enter a name for the database [en] the dialog for "save and in the dialog box and click OK proceed" appears [fr] cochez la case [Créer une base [fr] la boîte de dialogue pour de données], puis cliquez sur "sauvegarder et passer" le bouton Suivant. apparaît Of course, it will be harder to follow the steps because the description will be longer but it should not be that bad. I think that we will have only few translations in the beginning. I hope that Moztrap could support translating relatively soon. The big advantage is that it keeps the translations in sync with the English original. Also it uses the "step/result" Moztrap feature => It will be much easier to move the test cases into newer Moztrap that might support translations. We will not need to rewrite the test cases during such migration. Easy script will be enough to save the translations into the right place. Of course, this is only mine opinion. I wonder what say others that will use Mozrap.
