Hehe, these tests are created by myself with guidance from Adam, James
and Jens. But I think [2] should be renamed as l10n installation since
l10n team is in charge of the translation?

Agree. Most of us only have qwerty keyboard, so it's important to ask
the translators and testers who use non US keyboard to help test it in
anaconda.

Thanks for reviewing them, I'm not a master of kbds/languages testing,
so I'll really need your help on improving these tests.

Yeah, recently I found a bug(#617040) in F13 GA which even prevents
install by using Arabic language. This is one of the issues which should
have been discovered under the F13 cycle. 

So to improve on this, in F14 cycle, how about we hosting it as a test
day topic[3]? The translation is gonna be finished after Alpha phase, so
this test day could be someday in the beta phase targeting on language
translation and keyboard tests in anaconda for Beta candidates. Test
cases[2] could be further modified or changed for use, and then we need
to find testers both inside and outside the groups to maximum the
participation and bugs discovery on that day(s).  

What do you think of this?


Many Thanks,
Hurry
