Initial Comment:
Hallo Jmol-devs

While translating this fine app I found a few things that I wanted to report.

org/openscience/jmol/app/jmolpanel/AtomSetChooser.java:368
"Play the whole collection of {0}'s"

This string cannot be translated correctly into Danish. {0} can be both vector and atom set, but in Danish these two objects does not have the same plural ending, so I cannot translate "'s" correctly in a way that covers both cases. I would suggest seperate strings

"Play the whole {0} collection"  is better in English as well.

Hi Angel,

I am not entirely convinced of this modification, because we still have
problem with some languages.

For example, for French, I can't translate correctly "Go to next {0} in
the collection"

With "atom set" (translated to "ensemble d'atomes" maybe), it would be
translated to "Aller à l'{0} suivant" because "ensemble d'atomes" starts
with a vowel, so I need the "à l'"

With "vector" (translated to "vecteur"), it would be translated to "Aller
au {0} suivant" because "vecteur" starts with a consonn, so I need the "au"

I am committing an other fix, removing entirely the {0} stuff for a few
strings, and duplicating them : one version with atom set / atom sets, one
version with vector / vectors

Dear Obi,

This can be done, but the method is somewhat convoluted.
I've checked what I have done in the Spanish translation and I just
ignored the "s".

Anyway, if you think it's important, I'll see if I can implement it.
Basically it's a question of defining two phrases.  We have an example with
"top", which means either "view from above" or "go to the top".

More news in a day or two.
