[Paraview-developers] Paraview translation to another languages

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Shagit,

I must admit I have never looked into anything related to
internationalization. With my limited understanding of this, they way I see
it is there are two parts:

1. generate the translation that maps string A to translated string B.
2. make sure the application, before showing the string in the UI, does a
lookup through the translation table via QObject::tr().

What I explained (or hoping to address) was (2). For (1), you'll have to
manually (or via tool) process the xmls in ParaView to extract labels and
documentation texts to determine the phrases that need to be translated (1).

Hope that helps, but I hope someone more familiar with internationalization
can chime in.
