[edit] Test on a minimalist usage

This test is to see what gets displayed when almost none of the infobox is filled in. The idea here is that all the compulsory fields should be displayed, and all the optional fields should not be displayed

[edit] Test of the infobox on a fictitious translation:

This test is simply to try out ALL of the fields without worrying about factual accuracy (note that it has both "published", "NT_published", and "OT_published", where "published" is for translations which did not publish OT and NT separately).
