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 (Workstation) or SB (Silverblue) or Kinoite ?

2) bare metal or VM?

3) which language used?

4) which arch used?

e.g. a complete user profile should be "Silverblue, 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 - Priyam Gupta (priyam), Sumantro Mukherjee (sumantrom)

Prerequisite for Test Day

One or more keyboards with different layouts
Workstation Fedora 36 nightly image or daily compose location.

OR

Silverblue Fedora 36 nightly image or daily compose location.

OR

Kinoite Fedora 36 nightly image or daily compose 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 36 nightly Workstation live image or Fedora 36 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 36 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 (Workstation) or SB (Silverblue) or Kinoite ?

2) bare metal or VM?

3) which language used?

4) which arch used?

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

Results will be transferred from result page

[1] Similar to previous VM tests: Spell chks ok : Language ok

[2] Not install with upgrade from F35

[3] t_BR

[4] RHBZ #2060751 I could not find any serious problems, only one minor nitpick that “hunspell -D” lists all dictionaries twice.

[5] I tested like this: for i in $(locale -a | grep utf8 | sed s/.utf8// | sed s/@.*$//); do fc-match sans:lang=${i}; done And there was **only** NotoSansMono-Regular.ttf in the output, no other fonts. Same for “serif” and “monospace” instead of “sans”.

[6] I was able to install the font package rit-rachana-fonts-1.3.1-1.fc36.noarch using “sudo dnf install langpacks-ml” (rit-meera-new-fonts-1.2.1-2.fc36.noarch was already installed before I did that although I installed Fedora 36 in Japanese locale) When both font packages were installed I could do this; [mfabian@fedora ~]$ LANG=ml_IN.UTF-8 fc-match sans-serif:lang=ml MeeraNew.otf: "Meera New" "Regular" [mfabian@fedora ~]$ LANG=ml_IN.UTF-8 fc-match serif:lang=ml RIT-Rachana-Regular.otf: "RIT Rachana" "Regular" [mfabian@fedora ~]$

[7] -D, hunspell-da, gnome-text-editor, firefox textbox, libreoffice writer

[8] -match serif:lang=ja => "Droid Sans" "Regular" (without google-noto-serif-cjk-ttc-fonts)

[9] testcase assumes rit-rachana-fonts installed

[10] spellcheck worked in gnome-text-editor

[11] Default font now is NotoSans-VF.ttf for English locale

[12] On Silverblue only Sans-Serif for ml can be tested which is correct MeeraNew.otf font. In toolbox its verified that Serif and Sans-serif fonts are showing new font names.

[13] Have changed the system locale to zh_HK, logout/login. Installed ibus-table-chinese-cangjie-1.8.8-1 manually. (automatic installation might take some more time)

[14] No ibus-table-chinese-cangjie installed by default. even if installing from Live with zh_HK.

[15] Everything else works fine (on GNOME) except for step 11. I do get a child glyph, but the skin tone is a separate glyph of its own, rather than it modifying the child glyph.

[16] RHBZ #2062660 i18n Input string partially rendered on the search area (as already observed)

[17] RHBZ #2063165 Observed the issue that while deleting flag emojis, the starting letter of that country name also appears in libreoffice applications
