Currently we are using .properties files for externalized strings and translations. Files in the .properties format are defined to be encoded in latin-1. This leads to problems with non-latin languages, like Russian, where all characters have to be written like '\u3435'.

Solution:
Add support for xml resource bundles that can be encoded in utf-8. It would be nice if it was possible to add translations in either the .properties format or the xml format, depending on the language.
