* Applet, Application, and Systems Integration Component
o The JmolApplet is a web browser applet that can be integrated into web pages. It is ideal for development of web-based courseware and web-accessible chemical databases. The JmolApplet provides an upgrade path for users of the Chime plug-in.
o The Jmol application is a standalone Java application that runs on the desktop.
o The JmolViewer can be integrated as a component into other Java applications.
* Multi-language

o Translated into multiple languages: Catalan (ca), Chinese (both zh_CN and zh_TW) Czech (cs), Dutch (nl), French (fr), German (de), Hungarian (hu), Italian (it), Korean (ko), Portuguese - Brazil (pt_BR), Spanish (es), Turkish (tr), (in addition to the native American English, en-US, and British English, en-GB).
o Automatically adopts the language of the user's operating system, if it is among the translations available. You can change to another language if desired.
