Hi,
We have prepared one document describing a popular testing method of Screenshot Comparison to test any application. We have prepared guidelines as well as instructions for GUI testers of language community and organizations. Particularly for open source community this method can be used to engage community in QA activity at large scale.

Please provide feedback and suggestions for the ^^ document.

Chap. 3 mentions that the method of capturing screenshots can be automated. However, the process/tools to do so does not receive any mention further in the document. It would be helpful to have these as links (in an appendix of sorts)

we tested dogtail for screenshot without major success (still working on), but indeed need to include in reference. Please share if you have any other tool for taking screenshot.
thanks for comments and we will update it in next revision.

In that case you may want to mention that in place of a dangling reference to automated screenshot as a method.
Additionally, the document would also be well rounded if there are examples where this method (screenshot based) of testing will not work.

Try project sikulli.

We are looking for a tool and/or script that can grab screenshots (English and many other native languages) automatically. So far, dogtail has served our purpose of providing i18n support in terms of capturing images, just that we need to write whole lot of automation for the number of screenshots we are planning to take for majority of applications.
However looking at sikuli I find it more promising, especially in terms of our regular automated testing efforts. Need to explore it a bit more. Thanks for the link Satish.

For this testing purpose Deckard (A web based glade runner) can be of some help. Manoj Giri earlier tried testing with Deckard after Dogtail got deprecated. I came to know about Deckard only after Runa gave a demo presentation about Deckard at Wikimedia language summit. Deckard will be really helpful for the above purpose as it dynamically displays the UI of the selected module in desired language. Moreover, the displayed UI can be used as a real UI which is better than a screenshot. The only shortcoming is that at one time only language can be selected i.e, there is no provision for selecting both source and target language. I wrote a mail to Deckard's developer requesting this feature change in reply to which he suggested me a simple workaround which can the serve the above purpose. An addon named split-panel needs to added to Firefox and two panel of the same page opens up in the browser window allowing us to display the UIs side by side in both English and native language. However, this instance of Deckard has only Gnome modules at present and there is no provision to add other projects to it. The developer says for other projects like LibreOffice, a separate instance of Deckard has to be created. Moreover, only the latest gnome modules are available for testing. There is no provision for selecting the older gnome versions. All these feature changes can be done and will take some time but for now I feel using the panel splitting method the testing purpose can be served.

Hi Nilamdyuti,
Thanks for taking an effort to discuss with deckard developer 1) to get support 'Source' and 'Target' display together next to each other on the same page 2) to get support of localization testing of any older Gnome releases 3) to cover most of the open source projects' localization testing (not just Gnome)
Irrespective of all of the above features get implemented, we would still require a system to capture localization assessment with respect to Screenshot Comparison Method or localization quality review.
Happy to see the movement around localization!
Thank You! Ankit Patel http://www.ankit644.com/

Hi Nilamdyuti,
Thanks for taking an effort to discuss with deckard developer
- to get support 'Source' and 'Target' display together next to each
other on the same page 2) to get support of localization testing of any older Gnome releases 3) to cover most of the open source projects' localization testing (not just Gnome)
Welcome.
Irrespective of all of the above features get implemented, we would still require a system to capture localization assessment with respect to Screenshot Comparison Method or localization quality review.
Yes, that would be needed as well.
Happy to see the movement around localization!
