RAC7. Internationalization and translation management for Java applications
The goal of the project is to investigate approaches where a web application developed with the Spring framework can be internationalized, and a translation interface provided. The system would allow a team of translators to collaborate in a fashion similar to the openACS translation project.
Supervisor:
Dr Rafael Calvo (USYD)
Introductory Meeting
I had a meeting, 22nd May 08, in SIT with Dr Calvo and the other students that he is supervising.
The meeting was basically an introduction and to stimulate some thought on the development cycle of the thesis since most students will probably be focused on the current semester and the upcoming exams for the next few weeks. Once those are out of the way it's game on for sure!
Dr Calvo provided us with a copy of a chapter from a book that will provide useful in actually writing the thesis.
"How to write a better thesis" 2nd Ed, David Evans & Paul Gruba, Melbourne Univ. Press, 2002
The key take away from the meeting was that most of the thesis problems are not going to be new problems. Someone else will have conducted work in the area before. The important part of the thesis is that you can contribute something to the solution, that you can show the work that others have done and then proudly state "and this is my contribution", "this is my little piece of the puzzle".
So from here I will organise a meeting with Dr Calvo so I can discuss the direction the thesis will take.
Next Official Deliverable:
Friday 1st August -> Hand in Project Plan (Basically Chapter 1)
