We had this discussion on Litmus times. We need to split the test cases into language independent and language specific groups. I think that most functionality is language independent and thus simple translation of the test case should be enough. The few language-specific test cases might need special handling. I think that we have to extend Moztrap to translate test cases and UI sooner or later. We need to find a temporary solution that will allow testers to work with it already now and allow to migrate the test cases to the translated framework later easily. > - UI strings are not the same due to localization, and we are also QAing > our l10n when we do those tests in our language I also think that we will get better results with our own localization. Most test cases should stay the same between few releases. I think that we could survive one or two years with inline translations. I hope that we could get real localization support within that timeframe. We are going to pay some external developers to improve bugzilla this year. I would imagine that we could get some money to improve Moztrap next year if we were not able to do it using our resources.
