Hi, I currently checked the German translation of Jmol and found that some parts have a very low quality, because the translator (someone via Launchpad) seemed to have no clue about (Quantum) Chemistry (software). A lot of the translations for GaussianDialog.java are wrong (I did not yet check more stuff). Unfortunatelly I just have a basic knowledge about QM software and I almost only know the English words. So I cannot fix all of the wrong phrases.
I'm pretty sure, that this problem can also be found in other translations. Please add at least a note to the top of the files (or check, if launchpads po-service can give a warning or so), that people should *not* touch the files, if they don't know, what the phrases are about or you will suffer from misleading and wrong translations in Jmol. Being honest: I currently doubt, that providing the .po files via launchpad will result in high-quality translations. The phrases are very specific and related to various fields of chemistry. Suggestions are appreciated, how to handle this.
