I'm not 100% sure whether it still works on 14.04 but with previous Ubuntu versions we were able to install GNOME destop environment from the Software Center. What do You need a GNOME for? Just because, whether You like it or not, along GNOME 2.x and 3.x we get Xfce, Unity and kde. Now all You have to do is to choose a needed environment on the login screen. Your mashine will perhaps become heavier but You get a powerful playground. </div><div> </div> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <hr size="1"> From: "ubuntu-translators-request@lists.ubuntu.com" <ubuntu-translators-request@lists.ubuntu.com> To: ubuntu-translators@lists.ubuntu.com Sent: Friday, May 30, 2014 2:00 PM Subject: ubuntu-translators Digest, Vol 116, Issue 18 </div> <div class="y_msg_container"> Send ubuntu-translators mailing list submissions to <a ymailto="mailto:ubuntu-translators@lists.ubuntu.com" href="mailto:ubuntu-translators@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-translators@lists.ubuntu.com</a> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-translators" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-translators</a> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to <a ymailto="mailto:ubuntu-translators-request@lists.ubuntu.com" href="mailto:ubuntu-translators-request@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-translators-request@lists.ubuntu.com</a> You can reach the person managing the list at <a ymailto="mailto:ubuntu-translators-owner@lists.ubuntu.com" href="mailto:ubuntu-translators-owner@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-translators-owner@lists.ubuntu.com</a> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of ubuntu-translators digest..."

And I at least know what a virtual machine is; a normal Joe - if they have the knowledge to do even this - would have to sacrifice a machine here for testing, even if they are already using Ubunu or Kubuntu - because 2 operating systems need to be installed here. I guess in big language teams yo always have somebody around to do this, but for small languages this will be a problem. For me, testing involved quite a lot of fiddling and scrolling as well, because the screen resolution was so small. Would it be possible in the future to have some testing automation against crashes? To ward against nonsense strings, maybe we could have a repository of high impact strings to test for those who are unable to install? > * add the test result for respective language to the Trusty table on > the wiki page I would if I had the necessary editing rights, which I don't. So, could somebody please list Ubuntu as tested for Scottish Gaelic (gd)? We don't have a language pack for Kubuntu.

Well, irrespective of the size of the language, you need to have Ubuntu 14.04 installed, of course, to be able to test. As regards Kubuntu, it's not obvious that it's motivated any longer to test that distribution separately. We'll take it into consideration. >> * add the test result for respective language to the Trusty table on >> the wiki page > > I would if I had the necessary editing rights, which I don't.
