Several IDEs (such as NetBeans) provide a nice i18n view of managing those files in a spreadsheet-like editor. So each locale would be another column of values....its pretty slick.
If you care to use a database to store and retrieve your application resources, I've created an implementation of MessageResources that does this. Support for multi-keyed bundles and Modules (1.1) is included (albeit declarative). I'm also building a management tool (not finished yet) that will allow you to manage the key/value pairs from within your own running application. The initial project is sitting on my server as a build-able struts-example which uses MySql. Feel free to download and try it. (It uses OJB under the covers, so you never write or edit a single line of sql) http://www.open-tools.org/struts-atlanta/downloads I'm in the process of refactoring the code to fit into commons-resources. Once that's complete, I'll make the Struts version available (which will use commons-resources).
