Internationalizing Slicer 3D Modules

25th Project Week - 2017 Summer Project Week NA-MIC

Key Investigators

• Juan Ruiz Alzola (Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain)

Background

Slicer 3D is a widely used application. A new feature including the localization -L10n- and internationalization -i18n- capacities would be used to facilitate users of different languages the use of the Slicer 3D application.

Project Description

Objective	Approach and Plan	Progress and Next Steps	Future work
Devise an i18n strategy for Slicer. Specifically, we will be working on: The design of a solution including the structure of documents. The documentation of the process in order to define a srategy for different modules. The tests of the solution with some examples.	Before Project Week: Make an analysis and study of the basics concepts of localization and internationalization. During Project Week: Establish a sound plan to accomplish this task in all its different areas: Analysis, design, methodologies and development Plan the internationalization of some test module. Git_Docs	Pending Pending	Establish a sound plan to accomplish the core and modules internationalization Plan the internationalization of the three major, logical parts: the core, command-line modules and modules. Develop some research about the use of software engineering processes in the development of the solution.
