Terminology

Localization testing - testing an software application for a specific locale and language.

Time Estimate

4-8 hours to set up environment, 40 hours per locale

Prerequisite experience

Native language speaker of locale you are testing.

Background

Our community is translating Mifos to various languages. We need volunteers to test Mifos for each localized version.

Details

This is manual testing that consists of setting up your own instance of Mifos, setting your language settings to your native language, and performing localization testing for that language. The localization testing should include viewing all the translations on the UI to ensure they are accurate for the language and culture. In addition, you should test basic UI-based functions of the application to ensure the features of the application work consistently.
