Hi,

First of all i18n of GWT is using property file like classical java,
but during compile time.
Not using the file directly during runtime is quite obvious: the app
live in the browser and has no direct access to the file systems.

You could write a generic approach to download properties files from
server.
This has at least 3 drawbacks
a) It is slow
b) It does not check whether a constant is used at all
c) It may be a security whole.

There are enough good reasons to do i18n not exactly like java does.

I feel quite confortable with GWT i18n.
