Languages to build
Languages for the first build
We do not need to support or test all OOo languages with our first build. But in order to ensure that it works correct we should include a localization test as well:
- Japanese (Volunteers = Kazunari Hirano, ???)
- Spanish (Volunteers = ~ashanen, ???)
Languages for developer milstones
When it comes to frequently published developer milestones we should think about which languages to include. The following set of languages were chosen in the previous OOo project:
Language | Reason |
---|---|
Arabic (ar) | to test the behavior of these characters and test RTL writing |
English (en-US) | master language |
French (fr) | due to historical reasons and to see long strings are fitting to the UI |
German (de) | due to historical reasons, there were the most testers, too |
Japanese (ja) | to test the behavior of CJK characters and test BIDI writing |
Russian (ru) | to test the behavior of Cyrillic characters |
For a new list we first have to look for volunteers to choose the appropriate languages.
