Objective

The internationalization of an application is the process of making the application usable by people in countries other than one's own.The aim of this project is investigating the feasibility and approach of the internationalization of Slicer as painless as possible for Slicer and its extensions developers. Work will focus on the UI form, dynamic string display. Hopelly, the modules coded in either Python or C++ can be processed in an easily way.

Approach, Plan

Our approach is to based on the built-in internationalization feature of Qt, do some experiments on one UI form and two modules (one is developed by C++, the other is developed by Python) to find the localized methods applicable to Slicer 4. Finally, we hope to summarize the procedure and provide associated template.
