On one side, I like the idea of automatic translations. Though, I am
afraid that we will need real localizations support in Moztrap anyway
because:
+ better translations quality; tests need to be understandable
even for beginners
+ language dependent tests; they can't be translated directly
+ support more languages; Google is powerful but the translator
supports less localizations than LO; also I am not sure of the
quality of each language; I guess that some languages are
easier to translate automatically than others
BTW: I think that there will be similar problems with automatic
translations and real translations. You will need to modify UI and touch
similar piece of code for both of them.
I would prefer to spend resources on real localization than on the
automatic translation.
Note that we have many active translators. We currently do not have
enough hackers that would allow them to translate Moztrap.

Also I think that many language dependent tests will have the same
principle and number of steps. For example, spell checking is tested the
same way in all localizations. You just need to use another test text
and expect another broken words, another suggested replacements, ...

+ advantages:
+ compact; do not need to scroll that much
+ disadvantages:
+ steps and expected results are far from each other; it is
harder so see how exactly they are connected
A solution would be to use another syntax, e.g.
When in English
1. launch Libreoffice Base
>> the database application appears, the database wizard opens
2. check [Create a database] then click on Next button.
>> the dialog for "save and proceed" appears
3. check [Yes, register the database for me] and [Open the database
for edition] and click on Finish
>> a file save dialog appear
4. enter a name for the database in the dialog box and click OK
>> a new database can be created successfully
When in French
1. ...
>> ...
2. ...

+ advantages:
+ step and result is clearly connected; this connection is
enforced by UI when creating the test
+ follows the current design => it is more intuitive when
creating the test case; also it should be easier to switch
to real localization once implemented
+ disadvantages:
+ harder to find your localization for each step
Well, the brain automatically finds some known words. Also I think that
we will get only very few localizations in the beginning; I hope that we
will get real localizations support before it gets unreadable.
