<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Purpose_and_principles">Purpose and principles</span></h2>
|
|
<p>To improve multi-language capabilities in FreeCAD by implementing support for UTF characters within the Coin3D interface.
|
|
</p><p>Despite Coin3D now moving to a more open development platform, it's still very difficult to contribute back into the project.
|
|
</p><p>(mrlukeparry) I have yet to receive a response on contributing back and for now it seems more appropriate to keep this within the FreeCAD project and would mean we can let users test without requiring development versions of Coin3D. I would aim to achieve this by 0.14 considering it's a big priority for increasing accessibility of FreeCAD to non-english users.
