Imho, that won't work for two reasons:
- behavior is not the same in every language and testing may
differ/be adapted depending on the local
In that case it is even more important that the testcase describe _all_ the
information for _all_ locales, otherwise there will be a terrible mess with
conflicting feedback (e.g. english testers reporting its fine, french reporter
reporting it is broken, both thinking they are testing the same thing).
Such a testcase _must_ contain the whole behaviour for all locales, e.g.:
1) Open libreoffice
Note: In the low german localization, you are required to mumble "Moin" while
doing that.
it's not necessary, the people from the team who reports a misbehavior
is aware of the difference between EN and his language. This is one of
the first thing you check when you are testing a local environment,
you've got it in both language every time. And for example, I don't care
how it behaves in German or when using CJK, etc. If it happens that
there is a real strange thing, we speak together with the other language
teams (the reason of the request for a dedicated list) and try to sort
out a real bug or a problem with the test, just as we do with l10n.
- UI strings are not the same due to localization, and we are also
QAing our l10n when we do those tests in our language
Thats also easily amended/clarified in cases were the autotranslation does fail.
Also I dont think we want to hardcode the expected translations in the
testcases -- that makes no sense at all (as that hardcoding is just as likely,
if not more so, to be wrong or outdated as the product).
Checking/understanding the google autotranslation takes more time than
doing it straight ;)
Kind regards
Sophie
