Agreed on the inconvenience factor. But not relying on the actual encoding of the file and using \uxxxx is what worked most reliably for me (fully localized web applications supporting 10+ languages). FWIW, PropertyResourceBundle uses properties.load(InputStream) which assumes ISO-8859-1 (Latin1) encoded stream. In Java 6, however, you have properties.load(Reader) which does not have this limitation. > >> >> The output of "native2ascii src/main/resources/translate_fr.properties" >> should interest you :) > > I know about this tool, but this means an extra step in the build > process and it's not really supported by IDE's.

Some build plugin exists: Ant: http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/native2ascii.html Maven MOJO: http://mojo.codehaus.org/native2ascii-maven-plugin/ (as Tim already mentioned) Maven (via antrun): http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Maven+and+native2ascii IntelliJ IDEA has first class support for this. Not sure about other IDE support but looks like quite a few exist for Eclipse as well. (I haven't used Eclipse or Netbeans for quite sometime now.) > >> You don't have to use the xml format really.
