what opensource world is that ? :)

In Java I know of two major ways:

The built in java method of localization (java ResourceBundles defaults 
to use properties, one project I know of using that is Hibernate Search)

The other is the way used in e.g. eclipse which uses the (some say 
technically better) i18n library developed by IBM which I unfortunately 
can't remember the name of now.
