Yes, I have already created several test cases in master/L10n/en covering:

    - General UI Localization

    - Spellcheck & Grammarcheck

    - Thesaurus

    - Hyphenation check

    - Templates

    - Help content

They are not perfect though :)

I also had a plan to review testtool cases and select important testing areas
populating to Litmus. Also we may want this as a mid-term working item
somewhere in wiki.

Yes, plus we have some translating mechanism natively in Litmus, that will be
ideal!

Already done :) We only have some duplicated cases there prefixed with
[DELETE]. I'll send a mail to the original arthurs and the list to confirm,
then prefer to remove them.

Best wishes,
