Internationalization and Localization Support

IntelliJ IDEA 11.0 Web Help

I18N support with IntelliJ IDEA falls into the following major aspects:

Internationalization, which involves extracting strings out of your source code and presenting them as properties that are further referenced in the source code.
Localization, which means translating these properties into the target languages.

IntelliJ IDEA provides helpful features that simplify working on software internationalization and localization issues. These features are:

Individual encoding for files and directories.
Dedicated file type for storing properties.
Advanced editing assistance for properties files.
Auto-detection of resource bundles.
Code inspections related to internationalization issues; intention actions, and quick fixes.
Dedicated editor for performing mass actions within resource bundles.
