Hi Karl, I am aware that there once was a developer who started creating a Japanese version of ParaView and have seen someone mention the existence of a Chinese version but don't know their current statuses. Technically, modifying ParaView to handle menus and message texts in foreign languages should not be difficult thanks to the internationalization framework of Qt. However I don't think translating all menus and message texts and (more importantly) keeping the translated resources up-to-date will be an easy task for an active project like ParaView (it depends on what amount of available human resources you have though).
Meanwhile, our group have translated Kenneth Moreland's The ParaView Tutorial to Japanese (http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/The_ParaView_Tutorial). The translation was last updated for PV 3.8 thus looks a bit outdated regarding the version number but most of the contents are still applicable to the current version, becuase the tutorial is more or less focused on the background philosophy and knowledge of ParaView while dealing with practical exercises on its operation in rather version independent way. It would be great if someone creates a Japanese version of ParaView, but we find it more realistic to translate such textbook materials than to create and maintain a translated version of PV if available resources are limited.
