Comment (by igor):

 > Well, I'm a bit confused. First, for the i18n/l10n translation tests,
 the images used for testing are Alpha RCs provided by rel-eng, right? If
 yes, according to the schedule[1], 'Compose Alpha Candidate' is on 02-17,
 and 'create Beta Test Compose' is on 03-15. Will the new translations be
 included in Alpha RCs?

 Right, but the new translations will only be included in Alpha RCs for
 those packages rebuilt by maintainers.

 > For i18n/l10n desktop tests, Will specific live image be built? Or
 should Alpha RC live image be used and then doing a fully update? Is
 2011-03-03 ready for it?

 It is better to use a specific image for the l10n desktop tests, but it
 will be ready only by 2011-03-04, which is the date of the rebuild. The
 translation schedule [1] suggests to do string reviews in built UI between
 2011-03-07 and 2011-03-15, which still is before the translation deadline.

 Taking that in consideration I suggest the following dates:

  * 2011-03-01: l10n/i18n Installation Test Day

  * 2011-03-03: i18n Desktop Test Day

  * 2011-03-08: l10n Desktop Test Day

 I know that 2011-03-01 is before the deadline for packages rebuild but
 Anaconda is constantly rebuilt so I see no problem in hosting that day.
 2011-03-03 is not affected by rebuild date since it is only for i18n
 testing. 2011-03-08 will be after the rebuild so translators can test both
 with an updated Alpha or with the specific live image for string review.
