# Mozilla and Java properties files

The Translate Toolkit can manage Java .properties files

## Features

- Fully manage Java escaping (Mozilla non-escaped form is also handled)
- Preserves the layout of the original source file in the translated version

## Not implemented

- Does not fold access keys together as done in the Mozilla DTD format.

## Examples

    editmenu.label = "Edit"
    saveas.label = "Save As"
