You'll need to download the properties files from the languages module to your DSpace installation's webapps/jspui/WEB-INF/classes directory first. It may also require a restart of your Tomcat server.
The messages files are already encoded but you can use various tools to make modifications to the file. The quickest is to run the native2ascii command line tool against the encoded properties files, make the changes you need, then encode them back to ascii using the same tool. Alternatively, there are a number of good gui and webui tools available for bulk editing. One integrates into Eclipse and is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipse-rbe/. Another, which we use, is TongueTied, http://code.google.com/p/tongue-tied/. It takes a little to set up but it provides really good online management of properties files and doesn't require your translators have Java running on their machines. Hope this helps.
