Hi, The translation is quite simple to do (I have done the French version). There are two files to translate : - Jmol.properties (English) which should become Jmol_es.properties (Spanish). - JmolPopupWords.properties (English) which should become JmolPopupWords_es.properties (Spanish).
For each line in the English version of the file that is in the form : <StringIdentification>=<English version of the text> You should have a similar line in the Spanish version: <StringIdentification>=<Spanish version of the text> The principle is explained in Jmol.properties (which is part of the application). I think Miguel did the first version of the Spanish translation. If you are interested in the translating Jmol into Spanish, there are also other parts that can be translated : - the Jmol documentation - the Jmol website. If you have any question, feel free to contact me directly or using the list. Nicolas ----- Original Message ----- From: "Herraez Sanchez Angel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [Mainly for Miguel and the other developers] The user interface of Jmol-Application shows up part in English, part in Spanish; the Jmol-Applet (right-click menu) is all English. I was thinking if would be nice to have Spanish-localized menu, at least in the applet, which will be used by a general audience, students and so. Will it be difficult to make such a translated version? What kind of expertise is needed? I would be willing to work on it, but I'm not a programmer -well, I'm not scared by prog.languages, but I don't have the time and impulse to learn more-. I opened the jmolApplet.jar file and saw some "org\openscience\jmol\ui\JmolPopupWords_es.properties" file (which is nearly empty), along with _fr and _nl variants. Is this all that has to be translated-localized? ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
