[jboss-as7-dev] Process for patching localized translation files

[Carlo de Wolf]

The properties files themselves are not the real owner of the messages.

The generated logging classes are.

Can someone elaborate a bit more on this process?
Maybe we can work from a case by just creating a translation from 
scratch without touching AS code / build?
