Add a @Generate(format =
"com.google.gwt.i18n.rebind.format.PropertiesFormat") attribute to
your Messages or Constants interface and then just compile your
project (if using GWT 1.6 or higher, pass the -extra argument with the
target directory as the value) and it'll generate the properties file
from the interface (if using GWT 1.5, in the www/<module>-aux
directory).

AFAICT, you'll have exceptions if a key isn't translated, so there's
some kind of validation built-in when you compile the project.

We're in the process of translating our app (read: imported the
generated properties file into an Excel sheet –just key/default
message, as we do not (yet) use @Meaning et al.– and have it
translated, translations not yet turned back into a properties file)
so I guess the answer is "not yet", but I'm definitely interested in
whatever you could find about it.
