# Localized Properties Files

Both Constants and Messages use traditional Java properties files, with one notable difference: properties files used with GWT should be encoded as UTF-8 and may contain Unicode characters directly, avoiding the need for `native2ascii`. See the API documentation for the above interfaces for examples and formatting details.

Many thanks to the Tapestry project for solving the problem of reading UTF-8 properties files in Tapestry's `LocalizedProperties` class.
