“After the highly successful Graphics Test Week last
week (thanks to everyone who came out! A full recap will be posted
soon), it’s another Test Week this week: this time for
internationalization and localization. This is a hugely important
area (the majority of Fedora users pick something other than
English with a US keyboard layout) which we don’t always test very
comprehensively, so I’d like to say a huge ‘thanks!’ to Rui He,
Igor Soares, and Aman Alam for their hard work in putting together
these events.“The first Test Day, running tomorrow (Tuesday 2011-03-01), will
be on translation and internationalization support in Anaconda (the
Fedora installer). We’ll be trying to weed out all those cases
where translations and localization (particularly keyboard layouts
and fonts) cause issues in the installer that are not encountered
when testing the default, boring, US English path.”
