Re: [Jmol-developers] L10n and Jmol*.properties files

Why not just convert every string to a key value and put all strings in the
Jmol_en.properties file? Then everything would use getString. No
autogeneration would be necessary. Everything to be translated would be in
one file.

Wouldn't this simplify the process?
