Bugzilla

Bugzilla is a widely used bug tracking/reporting system. Apertium has a bugzilla installation here.

Reporting a bug with a language pair

Mostly bugzilla is used for software which can ostensibly at any moment not have any bugs. Machine translation is different, our language pairs will always have bugs, often quite gaping ones. So, in order to not be inundated by bugs, take heed of the following (incomplete) advice:

Do not

• Do not report bugs which you can easily fix. For example, if the translation of "house boat" is wrong, instead of reporting a bug saying "Translation of 'house boat' wrong in apertium-en-ca", either fix it yourself, or email the fix to the language pair maintainer to fix.
• Do not report feature requests. These should be saved for the TODO list. Do not report bugs on items which are in the TODO list. For example, if "Fix personal pronouns" is in the TODO list, do not report bugs about personal pronouns.

Do

• Do report bugs which effect the whole pair. For example, if we can analyse, but not generate ijekavian forms of words in Serbo-Croatian, and we should be able to generate these forms.
• Read the bug reporting guidelines.
