Can't make the date?
If you come to this page before or after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test, file any bugs you find at Bugzilla, and add your results to the results section. If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.

How to write Profile in test event page?
Please follow the nomenclature of adding profile information for your testing while submitting test result

1) which variant? WS or SB?

2) bare metal or VM?

3) which language used?

4) which arch used?

e.g. a complete user profile should be "SB, KVM, ja_JP, x86_64"

What to test?

Today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on Internationalization a.k.a. i18n around Desktops including their applications. this aims to ensure if i18n support works enough on them.

Who's available

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...

Development - Akira TAGOH (tagoh_), Parag Nemade (paragan)
Quality Assurance - Pravin Satpute (pravins), Sumantro Mukherjee (sumantrom)

Prerequisite for Test Day

One or more keyboards with different layouts
An updated Fedora 34 Latest Workstation Live image, or a Fedora 34 nightly image
- As of today on this test day we see that Fedora QA recommended last known image is available image at this location.

OR

An updated Fedora 34 Latest Fedora Silverblue image, or a Fedora 34 nightly image
- As of today on this test day we see that Fedora QA recommended last known image is available image at this location.

How to test?

Update your machine

If you test with an installed system, make sure you have all the current updates installed, using the update manager.

Live image

Instead of testing on an installed system, you may download a Fedora 34 nightly Workstation live image or Fedora 34 Silverblue image for your architecture. Tips on using a live image are available at FedoraLiveCD. The latest live image links can be found here: please make sure to get a Fedora 34 nightly, not Rawhide.

Run the tests

Visit the result page and click on the column title links to see the tests that need to be run: most column titles are links to a specific test case. Follow the instructions there, then enter your results by clicking the Enter result button for the test.

Reporting bugs

Include some instructions on how to report bugs, and any special instructions.

If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Bugzilla for the appropriate component. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on IRC and we will help you.

Test Results

Please follow the nomenclature of adding profile information for your testing while submitting test result

1) which variant? WS or SB?

2) bare metal or VM?

3) which language used?

4) which arch used?

e.g. a complete user profile should be "SB, KVM, ja_JP, x86_64"

jatin1812	Custom build - B550, AMD Ryzen 3600x, AMD 5700 XT Fedora 34 Workstation x86_64	warn ^[1]						↑ Tested it on both Xorg and on Wayland. Settings in ibus-anthy are really the best compared to mozc settings. Also tried it on Fedora weblate for translation and it was a great experience overall, However it doesn't show kanji suggestions on Games that support ibus (input is working) CS GO and Dota 2. Also on Minecraft (Lunar) in full screen suggestions are not displayed but on a different resolution it does and commit has to done with ctrl + M as enter closes the chat in Minecraft. Verdict - ibus-anthy should come on top of windows instead and should have an option to force suggestions to appear on top of any application of any resolution.
mfabian	Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-34-20210308.n.0.iso in qemu	pass ^[1]						↑ Installed from a live image to disc in Japanese. ibus-anthy was the default input method after installation. I tried it and it worked.

When using ibus-setup in XFCE and searching for input method, the search works indeed better, searching for "booster" directly works, one has not to search for "other" first.
petersen	ja	pass ^[1]	pass ^[2]		pass		fail ^[3]	↑ ibus-kkc was installed via langpacks-ja Defaults to Romaji (though this is in line with ibus-hangul) ↑ Should improve kasumi button text to follow clearer Gnome HIG guidelines ↑ Text input works but not other keys like Backspace, Enter, etc
petrvelicka	Fedora Workstation 34 @ Dell Latitude E6540	pass ^[1]				pass ^[2]	fail ^[3]	↑ Tested on a VM (Boxes). (I don't speak Japanese nor can I read the script, therefore I'm unable to comment on the accuracy of the input method, just on it working or not). When I clicked on "help" while being in the installer, the help was in English instead of Japanese (might be lack of translation of that particular page to Japanese though). ↑ locale: en_IE.UTF-8 ↑ System locale -- en_IE.UTF-8, input method used: Chinese (Intelligent Pinyin) The selection of the possible completion variants is shown in the top left corner of the screen instead of the input field. Unable to delete the text from the input field.

Also registered few words which got saved under $HOME/.config/anthy/private_words_default file. ↑ On Hindi Desktop, Sayura m17n map is available already, added it and used to type as given in testcase.

Completion worked for "total" and "gnome" however nothing appears for other words like "hello", "risk", "down", tried for jp (anthy) input as well. Hit a "Segmentation fault" when I tried to close the dialogue box.
tagoh	WS, KVM, ja_JP, x86_64	pass ^[1]	fail ^[2] pass			pass	pass	↑ Due to the default input mode in anthy is currently ASCII, one more action is needed to start inputing Japanese after switching layout. if we can't make "Japanese (Anthy)" default for Japanese instead of "Japanese" keyboard layout, should we make the default input mode "Hiragana"? ↑ RHBZ #1936817 Talked with Mike and found a way to reproduce it. added a comment in bug.
