Yes. So we Japanese can write/use the Java applications and applets in Japanese language. But the mixed character sets (in Japanese language) on a PC may cause various problems, for example, with the handling of the folder names writtten in Japanese( and the different character set ) . > If you're interested to do a test, you can try translating only a few strings > so we can see what the result is. > Several people can then test a Jmol release to have feedback on different OS, > Java versions, ... It seems to easy to do, and worth trying. Once Jmol will be translated in only one character set of Japanese, it will be liked by Japanese-speaking people, and the problems about double-byte character sets will be easily appealed. > Nico > > ------------------------------------------------------------- > Noos, votre bureau virtuel sur Internet : Mail... > Web : webmail.noos.fr > -- Yoshiko Miwa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
