OK, point taken. I will amend the offending resourcestrings in a patch.
I'm not a linguist nor a translator, so did not appreciate that this

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.
