You could load different property files according to a base property
<property file="${user.name}.properties"/>
And with AntContrib you could copy contents
<property name="text.en" value="Hello World"/>
<property name="text.de" value="Hallo Welt"/>
<property name="language" value="en"/>
<antcontrib:propertycopy name="text" from="text.${language}"/>
<echo>${text} = Hello World</echo>
