== Qt Linguist ==
OSCAR is programmed with the use of the tools from Qt (http://qt-project.org/wiki/category:Tools). When someone wants to help this project by adding a new language, use can be made of another Qt program: Qt Linguist. This wiki is a step-up for the beginner. A comprehensive guide can be found here: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qtlinguist-index.html.
Qt provides excellent support for translating Qt C++ and Qt Quick applications into local languages. Release managers, translators, and developers can use Qt tools to accomplish their tasks. Translators can use the Qt Linguist tool to translate text in applications. No computer knowledge beyond the ability to start a program and use a text editor or word processor is required.
In the case of OSCAR, a template is built for each language and provided to the translator, who opens the translation files using Qt Linguist, enters the translations and saves the results back into the translation files, which is passed back to the release manager. The release manager then generates fast compact versions of these translation files ready for use by the application. Thus giving more people native access to the results of their therapy.
