  "textContent": "#\n\nIt’s been about a month since I wrapped up my Outreachy internship, but my journey with **Debian** is far from over. I planned to keep contributing and exploring the community, and these past few weeks have been busy\n\n### **Testing Locales and Solving Bug #1111214**\n\nFor the **openQA** project, we decided to explore how accurate local language installations are and see if we can improve the translations. While exploring this, I started working on automating a test for a specific bug report: Debian Bug #1111214\n\nThis is a test I had started by writing a detailed description of the installation process to confirm that selecting the **Spanish_panama** locale works accurately. I spent time studying previous language installation tests, and I learned that I needed to add a specific tag (LANGUAGE-) to the “needles” (visual test markers).\n\nSince the installation wasn’t in English anymore, taking the correct screenshots and defining the areas took quite some time. I used the following command on the CLI to run the test:\n\n`openqa-cli api -X POST isos ISO=debian-live-testing-amd64-gnome.iso DISTRI=debian-live VERSION=forky FLAVOR=gnome LANGUAGE=spanish_panama ARCH=x86_64 BUILD=1311 CHECKSUM=unknown`\n\nWhile working on this, I got stuck at the **complete_installation** step. Because the keyboard layout had changed to Spanish, the commands required to confirm a successful install weren’t working as expected. Specifically, we had an issue typing the “greater than” sign (>).\n\nMy mentor, **Roland Clobus** , worked on a clever maneuver for the keys (AltGr-Shift-X), which was actually submitted **upstream** to openSUSE.\n\nIn this step, I also had to confirm that the locale was correctly set to LANG=”es_PA.UTF-8″. I had to dig into the scripts and Linux commands to make this work. It was a bit intimidating at first, but it turned out to be a great learning experience. You can follow my progress on this Merge Request here. I’m currently debugging a small issue where the “home” key seems to click twice in the final step, and after that, the test would be complete .\n\n### **Community & Connections**\n\nBeyond the code, I’ve been getting more involved in the social side of Debian:\n\n  * **Debian Women:** I attended the monthly meeting and met **Sruthi Chandran**. I’ve always seen her name as an Outreachy organizer, so it was great to meet her! She is currently running for Debian Project Leader (DPL). We also discussed starting technical sessions to introduce members to **packaging** , which I am very excited to learn.\n  * **DebConf Preparation:** I am officially preparing for my first **DebConf**! My mentors, Tassia and Roland, along with my fellow intern Hellen, have been incredibly supportive in guiding me through the application and presentation process.\n\n",
