Internationalization (I18N) and Localization (L10N)

[Yu, James CL]

Dear Wayne,

I am not sure if you have plan on making ImageJ (the software and maybe
later the website) available in multiple languages?  Probably a lot more
people in different parts of the world may benefit from using ImageJ in
their native languages, especially in educational use of ImageJ.

I am not sure this idea is planned or scheduled in the future version.  
A typical model is to first internationalize imageJ and then to
encourage other contributors to localize (translate) it in different
languages.

Thanks,
James

AFAIK there are no such plans. Since English really has become the
language of science, I gather that those plans will not arise soon.

Having said that, it has been on the ImageJ website recently that a
Japanese version of ImageJ is available at

Dear ImageJ users,

We have developed an educational tool based on ImageJ for astronomy, it
is multilingual. It is based on a old version of imageJ (v1.30) and we
are currently updating it to use v13.8. If you are interested you can
download it at :
http://www.euhou.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=7&Itemid=9

Most of the translation in 8 languages are already done, as soon as our
update is done we'll be happy to give our translations and modifications.

cheers

Thomas

In my humble opinion, a multilingual ImageJ can help the people in the
world altogether advance the science faster.
