Switching to Jmol-developers ....
Nico has released 11.1.33. I'd appreciate another round of testing of
that for language in the menu and proper menu updating. I'm having a
problem on my end setting my locale -- I set it in Windows, then
depending upon what I open I see it automatically switching back and
forth among different languages. So I haven't successfully tested that
the applet loads the proper local language initially.
Egon mentioned settings in Mozilla. As far as I know, all that does is
send the following header to a host server along with the page request:
Accept-Language: es-mx,en-us;q=0.7,en;q=0.3
or something like that. So that should have no effect on the applet itself.
Right now the way the menuing system works is not sufficient -- I have a
hardcoded set of languages, and we are simply going down the line adding
them to the menu:
addCheckboxMenuItem(menu, GT._("Catalan", true), "language = \"ca\"
#Catalan",
id + ".ca", language.equals("ca"));
addCheckboxMenuItem(menu, GT._("Czech", true), "language = \"cs\"
#Czech",
id + ".cs", language.equals("cs"));
addCheckboxMenuItem(menu, GT._("Dutch", true), "language = \"nl\"
#Dutch",
id + ".nl", language.equals("nl"));
etc.
Clearly this is not sufficient. It was just a quick hack to see if any
of this would work at all. JmolPopup should just be getting a list of
supported languages from GT and then iterate through them to produce the
menu. There shouldn't be anything in JmolPopup that assumes any
knowledge of available languages. I'm going to see right now if I can
fix that, but what I'll do is probably still not quite right. I suspect
that what we really need is a set of properties in a property file that
takes care of this.
One problem I foresee is that we might end up with "desired language"
and "actual language" -- We have fr, but the user's system identifies it
as fr-ca, and we only deliver fr. Something like that.
