One issue which we have had with our workflow (using Java property files) is when keys are deleted from the underlying source code. The effect of this happening is that the translation will be presented as an untranslated string, which is quite confusing to our translators. So, typically, what we have to do (although it is difficult because our application never has a string freeze) is to allow the translators to translate against a specific revision, and then merge the code. Another gotcha is that the Java strings must be escaped with native2ascii, as they are written in native format, and not in escaped format. All in all, it is a bit tricky in our case, but hopeful that the new version will address some of these issues.
