OK, point taken. I will amend the offending resourcestrings in a
patch.<br>
I'm not a linguist nor a translator, so did not appreciate that this
would cause difficulty.<br>
My motive was simply to reduce the overall number of resourcestrings
required by reuse of phrase "atoms", which I see now works
satisfactorily only if a single language is ever employed.<br>
