I suggest you guys offer a gettext file (.po) for a better way to edit the translations files. Gettext is well-known by translators and has great tools to help edit, such as [Gtranslator](https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gtranslator) and [POEdit](https://poedit.net/).\r\n\r\nAs you guys already use properties file to translate you'll have to use [Translator Toolkit](http://translate-toolkit.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html) to convert .po to .properties, both way.\r\n\r\nAnd finally you'll be able to use an on-line service, if works better, called [Transifex](https://www.transifex.com/). It's free for open source projects. And has an api to fetch and push translations ([link](http://docs.transifex.com/api/translations/)).\r\n\r\nAs a developer in many projects before I think it's worth it."}}
