What tools are people using for localization?

For example, currently I've defined all my strings using @DefaultValue
(...) for my Constants interface instead of a properties file - is
there a tool out there to convert an interface into a properties file,
or validation a properties file against and interface?

Has anyone seen a tool to take all the properties from the interface
including the @Meaning annotations and generate/update and excel
spreadsheet from that with columns "Untranslated", "Meaning", "ID"?
This could be used as the first step of the translation workflow.

Next I could merge this file with any prior translations by detecting
any rows where the "Untranslated" or "Meaning" has changed or added
and produce a new Excel file with additional columns "Old
Untranslated", "Old Meaning", and "Old Translation".  This file can be
sent to the translators for translation, who would be responsible for
filling in the "translation" column only.

When it comes back I need another tool to extract the ID and
Translation column data and dump that into the appropriate .properties
file.

I'm thinking I'm not the only one who needs to create and update
translations of their GWT app, but so far my Googling hasn't turned up
any tools for this - especically the first step where the interface
IDs and meanings are extracted out into a useful format.

Anybody got anything to help with this?

Thanks in advance,
Dobes
