Java properties#
Native Java format for translations.
Java properties are usually used as monolingual translations.
Weblate supports ISO-8859-1, UTF-8 and UTF-16 variants of this format. All of
them support storing all Unicode characters, it is just differently encoded.
In the ISO-8859-1, the Unicode escape sequences are used (for example zkou\u0161ka),
all others encode characters directly either in UTF-8 or UTF-16.
Note
Loading escape sequences works in UTF-8 mode as well, so please be careful choosing the correct encoding set to match your application needs.
