+Checking Templates
+##################
+
+Checking Syntax
+---------------
+
+This step is important because if you have some wrong syntax in your template, this will break the user interface.
+
+You can see the checking scripts in the ``t/`` subdirectory in your Bugzilla root directory.
+
+To check the localized templates, you would only need to run these three ones:
+
+* t/004template.t
+* t/008filter.t
+* t/009bugwords.t
+
+So run e.g.:
+
+:command:`prove -Q t/004template.t`
+
+If your templates are valid, you should see a result like this:
+
+.. raw:: html
+
+  <pre>
+  t/004template.t .. ok         
+  <span class="green">All tests successful.</span>
+  Files=1, Tests=1236,  5 wallclock secs ( 0.11 usr  0.00 sys +  4.70 cusr  0.05 csys =  4.86 CPU)
+  Result: PASS
+  </pre>
+
+If something went wrong, you will see something like this:
+
+.. raw:: html
+
+  <pre>
+  #   Failed test 'template/fr/default/index.html.tmpl has bad syntax --ERROR'
+  #   at t/004template.t line 106.
+  # Looks like you failed 1 test of 1236.
+  
+  Test Summary Report
+  -------------------
+  <mark>t/004template.t (Wstat: 256 Tests: 1236 Failed: 1)
+    Failed test:  671
+    Non-zero exit status: 1</mark>
+  Files=1, Tests=1236,  4 wallclock secs ( 0.09 usr  0.01 sys +  4.74 cusr  0.04 csys =  4.88 CPU)
+  Result: FAIL
+  </pre>
+
+where you would hopefully see the faulty template and the line number where the error occurred.
+
+Then, fix the error and run the scripts again.
+
+Viewing In Bugzilla
+-------------------
+
+Once your templates have good syntax, you will want to use them in Bugzilla.
+
+Run:
+
+:command:`./checksetup.pl`
+
+to compile the templates and clear the language cache. Bugzilla will then
+have a language chooser in the top right corner. By default, it uses the
+``Accept-Language`` HTTP header to decide which version to serve you, but you can
+override that by choosing a version explicitly. This is then remembered
+in a cookie.
+
+Choose the language you have localized in, if it's not already chosen for
+you, and then view every page in Bugzilla to test your templates :-) This
+may take some time...
