FLTG

Objective

Fedora Language Testing Group [FLTG] is a SIG group of Fedora contributors taking care of language testing in Fedora.

Our mission is to test and review language support in Fedora and act as a bridge between translation team, i18n team and users to aid in testing languages in Fedora.

What do we do

Test the new fedora releases for our respective languages using different test cases we have prepared.
File the bugs and provide reference for other translators/testers.
Add new test cases based on new bugs filed and new packages.
Prepare the ISO for testing in consultation with the release-engineering team.
Coordinate and conduct both i18n (with the help of Fedora i18n team) and 110n test days.
Based on the ISO selected for testing, review the test cases.
Keep informed the l10n team about new issues, helping them to improve the testing.
Submit the report on test days and collect feedback from testers.

Why FLTG?

To improve the quality of Fedora in our native languages.
To develop more test cases for easy and planned testing.
To help the translators/testers find the common bugs.
To have a collective testing platform where all translators can be together and test to improve their product with less bugs and errors.
A point of contact for all testers to get more information on testing events, test cases and common bugs.
