Help spot localisation issues in GNOME 3

[Frederic Peters <fpeters gnome org>]

Hello all,

As GNOME 3 is fast approaching we want to make sure it offers a
pleasant experience, whatever your locale. And of course we can
notice some issues, but you have so much more experience that it
would be a shame not to ask you.

If you're already running GNOME 3, great! If you're not, you can
give jhbuild a ride, be it the whole jhbuild, or the tailored GNOME
Shell moduleset (see http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell#Building).

Or you could use the live USB key Frederic Crozat is creating, there
are instructions here, http://www.gnome3.org/tryit.html (I heard he's
actively working to update it for 2.91.90, but the current version is
already useful).

Now that you are ready I'll explain with an example what you should be
looking for.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636896 is a bug report
about the new date/time panel of the control center, as it allows
to set the date with three widgets, [ February |v] [24|] [2011|],
and the order of those widgets doesn't match what we could expect
on a French desktop (where we write "24 février 2011").

Date formats, week starting on the wrong day, hours written as 5pm
where you expect 17, that's the kind of things, and of course there's
no reason to forget translation strings missing context, but that's
usual business.

Thanks for your work, please CC me (fpeters 0d be on bugzilla) on
whatever bug you find.


Cheers,
        Frederic
