Introduction

Java properties files are usually used in storing properties in a Java application. But they can also be used for localization. Java Properties file should be encoded as ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1), it's specified by Java. If you wish to upload properties with UTF-8, try to upload them as "INI files".

For more information about the file format, please go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.properties.
