Java Properties Files

The following file extensions are supported when setting up file format configurations for Java Properties files: .properties.

For more information, please see the following sections: 

Default Java Properties File Configuration

Every file format has a default configuration to ensure that a file can be translated; however, it does not handle every complex property that could be thrown your way when translating a source file. The default configuration for Java Properties files does the following: 

• Uses UTF-16 as the default character encoding.
• Extracts programmers' comments for translation.
• Does not show leading and trailing whitespaces to the translator.
• Uses SRX rules for text segmentation.

Custom Java Properties File Configurations

If you are performing a Java Properties file translation, a custom file format configuration might be necessary to achieve the right results in your target file. Outside of the default configuration selections, Wordbee Translator offers many additional choices for configuring:

• A different character encoding.
• Exclude programmers' comments from the translation.
• Not show texts containing neither letters nor digits to the translator.
• Exclude content from the translation via text segments or regular expressions. 
• Always split text at line breaks.

A Few Examples

The following are just a few examples of what you can do with a custom Java Properties file configuration in Wordbee Translator. For more advanced examples, please see our Java Properties Questions and Answers page.
