=== Testing without language packs ===

This is mostly regression testing, in order to ensure that we do not break existing stuff with the new patch.

* Set the locale to something other than en_US.UTF-8 (by editing ~/.i18n). As an example, it can be de_DE.UTF-8 or es_PE.UTF-8

* Restart Sugar or sugar-emulator

* Start random activity

* Ensure that the translated strings come up properly

=== Testing with language packs ===

This tests support for language packs (which are essentially translation files which can be installed separately from the activities later on by deployments)

* Set the locale to es_PE.UTF-8 by editing ~/.i18n (it should read LANG=es_PE.UTF-8)

* Restart Sugar or sugar-emulator

* Set the GConf key ''/desktop/sugar/i18n/langpackdir'' to some random directory (say ''/foo'')

** The best way to do this would be to start Terminal and use the command ''gconftool-2 --set -t string /desktop/sugar/i18n/langpackdir /foo'' (this will create the key if it does not exist as well)

* Make directory ''/foo'' (with the command mkdir -p /foo)

* Make directory /foo/es_PE/LC_MESSAGES

* Download http://people.sugarlabs.org/~sayamindu/org.laptop.sugar.ReadActivity.mo into /foo/es_PE/LC_MESSAGES

* Start Read Activity and confirm if the translation string for the Fullscreen button comes up as "FooBar"

* Remove the file org.laptop.sugar.ReadActivity.mo

* Restart Read Activity

* Confirm if the translation string for the Fullscreen button comes up as Pantalla completa
