In August + 2013, David Roldán-Martinez took on the task of internationalising Jalview's user interface. He also recruited Sara - Hernández Díaz and Laura Ferrandis Martinez who created Jalview's - first spanish user interface translation.

RNA Secondary Structure Prediction with JABA 2.1
++ This version of Jalview includes a client to access the new services available in JABA v2.1 , which + provides services for RNA consensus secondary structure prediction and + two new alignment programs (GLProbs and MSAProbs).
++ To see how to perform RNA secondary structure predictions like the one below, take a look at the RNAAliFold + client documentation.
