I was tempted by your previous message and, before reading this one, I have started the adaptation; part is easy, part gives trouble, but a good part is done. I guess I can have it finished for monday --at least, a first version--.
You can have a look at this provisional site:
(I don't have access to my Univ. web server from home during weekend)
It's lovely. Well, you have done the most of it.....
I have started with the Spanish version, then it will be easy to do the English one too. If you are interested, we could do an Italian version?
We tend to encourage our students to practice with their english, so this is a good opportunity. Why should I spoil it (and stop being lazy :-) )?

I did the Chime version using Eric Martz's material, which in turn is based on other people's molecular models and simulations. All had given explicit non-commercial permission, and everything is written in the credits on each page. On top of that, the modules are publicly indexed under MolVisIndex.org, so the new Jmol versions would go there too under the same terms. Any of us can host the files.
I am sure Eric will be delighted to have this module translated into Jmol and into several languages.
Yes, I have seen the acknowledgements. I will do the same if this suffices.
I will keep posting my progress in the web so you can have a look and when finished I will send you the files. Please, feel free to make any suggestions.
At a first look:
the explaining text is in the top frame, while the left frame is just one sentence and need not scrolling. I would swap the two, as scrolling continuosly the top frame is distracting from what goes on in the model. In a couple of places I would split the text into more than one page, but this also depends on how all the rest of the site is structured, and how it feels with the language, which I can't tell.
One thing that is missing, as far as I could pick up from spanish, is the statement that the final model (the most cahotic) is the closest approximation to real biological membranes. I think that's the clue of the whole thing and needs to be made really clear.
Right now, I am just porting into Jmol, but some design improvements can come later --Jmol has some options Chime hasn't--.
Which improvements are you thinking about? I thought it is wonderful as it is.......
If you feel confident editing html+_javascript_ files, you can do the Italian, or else you can start writing down the translation of the current text and send it to me
If you really like the idea, yes, I can edit the files and write the italian translation, but as I said, I would go for the english and that's it. Now, I have this hangup that english language is best spoken by mother tongue people and so I feel too emarassed to produce something in english for the community...it really should be up to one of them, shouldn't it? ;-))
May a good idea could be for now to concentrate more on making other useful commands (if any).
A dream: anybody got simulation of lipid rafts and/or proteins floating into a lipid bilayer? That would be stunning!
Ciao
Adriano
, I will generate the Italian files too.
