Hi,
just some notes (you are correct in general) ;-)

Hi,
What i have learned from the IRC meeting regarding L10n QA [1] are:
Tests
Tests during development process are tightly scheduled.
There is no extra time to cover an entire OOo.
We have to focus on the specific items.
Tests can be classified into three different ones:
Functional Test
(not the main focus of l10n testing but we need to identify
functionality that depends on localization)
Aims: Ensuring that functions work
Targets: Functions that have been added or modified
Criteria: The functions should work with local languages.
Period: A few weeks
This is continous work
Requisites: Information on the functions, such as specifications
Localization Test
Aims: Achieving translation quality sufficient
Targets: Translated texts that have been added or revised.
Criteria: The translations should be appropriate in the context.
Period: One or two weeks
Requisites: Information on how to get the dialogs with the translations,
how to get their relevant on-line help pages
Release Test
Aims: Releasing builds at good quality ASAP
Targets: Localized builds by Sun and builds by contributors
Target would be each installation package (no need to keep Sun and
community builds apart)
Criteria: No show-stopper; Good for casual, daily use
Period: A few weeks
In fact we have some days (current release schedule says that an RC will
become final after a week, if no stoppers are found).
Requisites: Knowledge of target languages
Another type of test should be done on a daily basis with released
and/or under-development builds, which covers an entire OOo including
local language specific functionalities and translations.
Process
QA process will be discussed.
