Idea
QuTe Translation is targeted on people that are living abroad and on those who doesn't handle local language. QuTe Translation provide them an integrated tool for their mobile phones to translate incoming messages to language user handle. Also, QuTe Translation make it easier to response for those kind of messages, that are written on foreign language. All use needs is to write message in his own language, and it will be delivered to receiver in a language receiver use.
QuTe Translation is daemon styled application, that waits for a incoming message, that user might not understand. By this approach low user interruption is achieved.

Conclusion
QT was not very clear to start with. Signal and slots took time to understand.But as it becomes clear, they are really handy to use and data can be delivered through classes that are no time synchronized. But we are positively surprised with QT, with it we've managed to get all information we wanted from device, messages, contacts, etc.
During week of studying and coding, we've successfully done all our major tasks within project.
