[F45 test days] I18n

I've updated the wiki page, the test results page, added a fedocal event, and scheduled an announce email to test-announce and to discussion (currently hidden, will become listed later).

Please announce the event in further appropriate places, once we're closer to the date, thanks!

I think we're ready. Please speak up if something else needs tweaking, thanks.

I've read that there is going to be Internationalization test day soon https://testdays.fedoraproject.org/testday/23 From the set of test cases it seems to be focused on the running environment. Do you think we can add a test case for the Installer into it, specifically focused on the installation in different languages?
We don't want to steal the focus completely, but we also have quite a lot of issues reported to the installer last minute because of the bugs in keyboard layouts/language configuration. So it seems to be ontopic to ask people to try the Installer WebUI in different languages as a part of the test day.

We can discuss there, I'm just mentioning it here so that we don't forget about it.

Thank you for adding the testcase.

We have one important (and rather fragile according to the past experience) scenario, which is disk encryption password and keyboard selection. Do you think we could add a test case that explicitly requires using the disk encryption and checks
that the disk is successfully unlocked after installed system reboot?

If there would be capacity for only single installer test, I'd prefer ro replace the simple test case with the encrypted disk one.

We have these test cases available in our release validation matrices:

All of them use an encrypted disk. We can add any of these to the test day, if you like (or write a custom one).

These are already great, well-defined test cases.

I can see they are part of final release criteria. Do you think it would make sense make them part of the test day then? For example to have bugs discovered earlier? I think even this would be very valuable for Anaconda team.

Originally we were thinking about (exploratory) free of choice of 2nd language/keyboard test, hoping to have testers explorative / diverse enough to look for issues (perhaps naive, not sure if it would work like this though).

Maybe we could use the intersection of the 4 tests, with language of choice (or suggestion to pick a language that could break the case). I guess we want to keep esp. the point 5. (for #681250) to prevent reporting known issue.

Also we care only about testing of WebUI (not GtkUI) in scope of the test days.

.. So I think having the 4 tests + 1 test with exploratory choice of language, focused specifically on WebUI would be ideal in case of infinite testers force (yes Anaconda team should participate on the test days), but here I'd also ask for your guidance or recommendations.

We do have fairly good automated test coverage for those test cases also. We have Asian, Cyrillic and European for both webUI and gtkUI; Arabic and Turkish we do for gtkUI only ATM (I should add those to webUI). So we do catch issues quite early usually.

Of course, having people run them interactively at test days is also good, they may well do something a bit different from openQA and catch issues it missed.

I think if we need to add those test cases then it will be good to have one unique test case that covers all different languages.

@pnemade Ok, so I re-used your https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_i18n_Anaconda_Installer and linked to the 4 specific test cases inside of it. I also put it into its own category in https://testdays.fedoraproject.org/testday/23 .

Does that work for both you @pnemade @rvykydal ? Feel free to edit the test case as much as you like to fit your needs. Do we need a second one for something specific?

Also, we have some known issues in current compose:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2510055 (a race condition not really easy to hit AFAIK)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2508253

The former has already a fix merged (but not released): https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/7273

I am mentioning it in case it would make sense advertise them for the testers (AFAIK there are only blocker / exception bugs mentioned)

The first one is already present in the blockerbugs app view, I added the second one here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2026-09-07_I18N_Test_Day#Reporting_bugs

Anyone, feel free to extend that section.
