1401649 - Make mozregression work with localized builds

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: mozregression, enhancement)

Description

[Justin [:JW_SoftvisionQA]]

Is there support for the AR Locale on Mozregression? If not is this something within the scope?

Justin, could you give more details about what you'd expect here (and also what you were trying to do)? I don't know much about how internationalization works @ Mozilla, my understanding is that we repacked Firefox with specific locales only for release/beta versions which isn't mozregression's speciality.

What I was trying to do was find the regression range on an issue that only showed up on the AR locale. I ended up bisecting the builds myself.

It would be useful for mozregression (and mozregression-gui) to test Nightly builds in specific locales. For example Japanese, for bug 1452050.

FYI, I opened bug 1452567 for the same reason, should I dupe it to this one?

I agree this would be desirable and it does sound implementable, but am not sure when I will have time to work on it. If I can find a spare hour or two in the next few weeks, I will poke into it. Leaving unassigned for now.

This will really help us on bug such as 1467040 , look forward to that.

In bug 1482404 comment 2 I found text encoding bugs. Now I don't know how to narrow it down.
