Current i18n properties files are stored in source code repo after they are 
converted to ascii from native offline.  It's very hard to contribute new 
translations.

We should keep native characters in source code while convert them to ascii at 
build time. maven plugin native2ascii-maven-plugin could be used here:

{code}
<plugin>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                <artifactId>native2ascii-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.0-alpha-1</version>
                <configuration>
                    <dest>target/classes</dest>
                    <src>src/main/resources</src>
                </configuration>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>native2ascii-utf8</id>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>native2ascii</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <encoding>UTF8</encoding>
                            <includes>
                                ConsoleResources_jp.properties,
                                ConsoleResources_zh*.properties
                            </includes>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
