I think that we should not mention all the links in the first mail :-)

Good to know!

The disabled tests use the old format. They need to get reformatted
before they get enabled.

The problem is that Moztrap does not support localizations. We are
looking for a volunteer who could implement it. In the meantime, we need
to use a workaround. We started with the old format but people
complained that the tests were hard to proceed. There were too many
lines between each step. So, Yi Fan started to convert the tests into
the new format where all steps and results are in one place for a given
locale.

AFAIK, Yi Fan already ported all useful test cases. I think that he
ignored some trivial tests that did not make much sense. But I might be
wrong.

I am afraid that this is related to the branches. If you modify the text
in the branch "0" it is not automatically updated in other branches. I
am not sure if there is a way to synchronize this. Yi Fan?

Sigh, I am looking forward to have a real localization support in
Moztrap.

Thanks a lot for the feedback.

I do not have time for this myself right now. But I hope that me or
anyone else would have time to do it soon.
