1205015 - Take localized screenshots in an automated way

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for iOS :: General, defect)

Description

[Stefan Arentz | :st3fan | ⏰ EST | he/him]

To support the L10N process we would like to create screenshots of selected 'pages' in the app.

Starter use case:

Bug 1234 landed new items in the settings screen. We want to generate an 'album' with screenshots of the settings screen for all available locales. The album should come with a simple html page that lets you flip through the screenshots easily or select a specific locale.

Removing NI for me as I was using it as a reminder to check this out. Sounds like you're taking it Emily?

For additional context, the following locales have expressed the inability to test due to lack of devices:

- bg 1212545
- da 1140855
- br 1212547
- dsb 1212561
- hsb 1212561
- gd 1140747
- gl
- pt-PT 1212576
- son

Some of these are opting to not ship because of this. I suspect more are not testing, but simply proofreading their translations. Getting screenshots up-and-running will solve this problem for the next release.

While pl is tested on real devices we would be also interested in this, especially on latest/default device and also on smallest supported device.

I've created a new target and scheme for l10n screenshot tests so that they can be run separately from the marketing ones. There are currently no active tests, but they can be added when we want into this target.

To test this you will have to amend fastlane/Fastfile import_build_tools action to take additions args branch: "fluffyemily/Bug-120515-automated-l10n-screenshots"
