Time to long ? less than 2 weeks in general between two rcs, it's quite short (at least for those doing the tests, it is short). > > Most translators are not coders so it is not a good idea forcing them > compile and test > their translation after he did his work. They do not need to compile, the tests they need to do are very simple like saving in another format, paste and copy, print. The tests we are doing are sanity checks, they allow to verify that the current functionalities are OK, this is not only to check localization, but it can help also. > > A nightly build for OOo is not practical because it is too big. > But a *weekly* build will be nice for both testers and translators. I'm not speaking about developers versions, I'm speaking about stable versions that we deliver to our users.
