The limit could be that everything output to the console is not translated, but
I don't like this idea much.

We should promote using methods (like "jmolScriptWait()") for pages wanting to
have feedback from Jmol.
The problem with parsing textual output from Jmol is not limited to i18n, but
can also occur with pure English:
- between two versions of Jmol we can change some strings.
- the user can already choose to display the level (DEBUG, INFO, ...)
associated with the textual output, or even to suppress some output levels
