Hello all,

(bcc to Egon)

I have a little problem, I hope you can solve. Following the
*.properties files in Jmol, the menu includes mnemonics. Now the problem
is, I would like to have them inside the translatable string, e.g.:

_File
&File

where the "_" or "&" marks the mnemonic-char. This is because e.g.
"File" is translated, but the mnemonic is "F". But in the German
translation "File"="Datei" and the "F" cannot be the mnemonic. An
example on how to extract the mnemonic can be found at
http://www.koders.com/java/fid4286AE64065F639100053D2AF7BD618E87A0DAD4.aspx in 
line 225.

My idea: Instead of reading the mnemonic from the .properties file(s),
src/org/openscience/jmol/app/GuiMap.java should contain the functions
to 

a) find the mnemonic in a string and add it to a menu item
b) remove the mnemonic-char (& or _) from the string for the menu entry

E.g. GT._("&File") should return a string "&Datei". Then this string
should be examined.

IMHO it affects src/org/openscience/jmol/app/GuiMap.java and
src/org/openscience/jmol/app/Jmol.java (protected JMenuItem
createMenuItem()). It should not affect any other fle/function.

What do you think about this? Is it possible? If yes, could you
implement it (my Java knowledge was not good enough to implement it).

BTW: I cannot access the IRC channel at the moment (moved to a new
apartment and my online account is limited in several functions), so
please write back or use ICQ (ICQ #148295333) for a direct discussion.

Regards, Daniel
