Hi everyone,
I have committed a first version for the i18n of contextual menu.
There are no more JmolPopupWords.properties and
JmolPopupStructure.properties files.
The translation of the Application/Applet is entirely done using the
gettext tools.
I have used the old JmolPopupWords_xx.properties to initialize the
translations in the gettext format.
That would be great if someone knowing the languages could check (and if
possible complete) the translations.
The current status of the translations of the contextual menu :
- German: 4 translated messages, 193 untranslated messages. There was no
JmolPopupWords_de.properties.
- Spanish: 185 translated messages, 12 untranslated messages. Needs
verification and a few more translations.
- Estonian: 4 translated messages, 193 untranslated messages. There was
no JmolPopupWords_et.properties.
- French: 191 translated messages, 6 fuzzy translations. Needs verification.
- Dutch: 168 translated messages, 29 untranslated messages. Needs
verification and a few more translations.
Also, if anyone is interested in translating it to an other language,
it's quite easy to do and doesn't take much time.
Just contact me, I will explain the translation process.

My plan (a few years ago) was to have the popup menu file and translations
on the web server. That would allow people to create their own popup
menus.
In practice, no one has used that mechanism.
At this point I think that incorporating the menus/translations into the
..jar files would be fine.
We could mix the two (official menus/translation in the .jar, and
possibility to add more).
- create one derived class of ListResourceBundle for the structure
(copying JmolPopupStructure.properties into it)
In fact, I didn't use ResourceBundle for this one, since there is no
need for translations.
It's just stored in a Properties object.
Any comment ?
I think that will be fine.
Depending upon the size of the translations, it may be better for us to
put them in their own JmolApplet7.jar file.
At first you should do whatever is easiest for you.
Currently, I think it's not included in the JmolApplet*.jar files.
Where do you prefer to put them ?
The class files containing the translations currently represent a total
of 41 KB.
I hope it will get bigger (completing current languages, adding new
languages)
Maybe the best solution for the dealing with the size would be to put
each language in a separate JmolApplet_xx.jar.
This way, only one language will need to be downloaded (except for
English where the translation is inside the code)
