Project Description

The project aims to develop a novel software infrastructure to enable the localization of 3D Slicer into multiple languages.

Objective

To identify members of the global Slicer community interested in new Slicer activities in their language

To create a list containing the top 10 Slicer modules to translate for new Slicer Internationalization contributors

To create a new module translation lookup table for the Language Packs Extension tutorial

Illustrations

Project meetings

• Based on our discussions, we realized there’s an interest in using localized widgets in Slicer virtual reality environments. Thanks to Csaba Pinter and Simon Drouin we were able to make rapid prototypes for French and Korean!
