That's actually really smart, I would have never thought of this.

Why CJK text first?



Most scripts will mostly work if you support localization, but have only tested English. You'll most likely find issues with scripts needing compulsory ligatures (Devanagari) and CJK; so test them to make sure that someone trying to hack in an alternate localization doesn't run into a missing font, bad line breaking, unreadable text size, etc.

[Edit: "first" meaning "before releasing", not meaning "before other scripts."]


It'd be good to test with Right to Left languages as well. That's a big one that can mess things up in unexpected ways.
