[Evergreen-general] Localized test server for bug squashing week?

[Cerninakova Eva]

Hi all,

When preparing our planned Evergreen upgrade, I ran into some serious
issues related to localization. E.g., Evergreen is not properly switching
into Czech in the Staff client (as Linda pointed out in the Evergreen
general mailing list about two weeks ago); some strings that haven't yet
been translated in POEditor won't show in the Evergreen Staff client
interface even in English (there's a blank space instead); or, in some
cases, only certain individual letters (and a blank space) are displayed
from translated strings containing non-ASCII characters.

So with the approaching bug squashing week, I am wondering if it would be
possible for one of the test servers to have localization on for the Staff
client and for the OPAC too.

I think it would be very useful if more people could go through the
localized interfaces and test the localization problems, e.g., in Spanish
or French plus in the Czech localizations (the Czech localization would
definitely be suitable for testing, both because it has more non-ASCII
characters than other languages and also because almost all new strings
have been translated recently). Our Czech Evergreen community is currently
working hard to resolve the problems we came across. However, I suppose
broader testing would at least reveal if the errors we encountered are
general Evergreen bugs to be reported or just errors specific to the data
and settings of our catalog, which could shift the localization features of
Evergreen a little forward.

Thank you very much for considering this suggestion.
