It's just an encoding conflict: your properties uses ISO-8859-1, your

Asian languages...

Andrea, I'm sorry, I'll really try. My answers were probably terse
(short and to the point), and you probably sense a frustration on my
part with the lack of basic understanding in the software development
world on the fundamentals of software encoding.
For example, your answer seems to assume that some function simply loads
two sets of bytes and merges them together. That's not what happens at
all. (Or at least I hope that's not what happens---it would indicate
that the coder had no idea how to approach the task.) In fact their are
two layers to the encoding stack: the byte-level processing, and the
character level processing. The Java Properties class should correctly
take the bytes in the character file and do the ISO 8859-1 encoding,
producing a character stream to be parsed. This is already implemented
in Java, and has been for well over a decade, I believe.
Similarly, an XML processor will take the bytes in an XML file and
transform them based upon the encoding (in this case, UTF-8) and produce
a stream of characters. All XML processors are required to be able to
perform this transformation, and have been for well over a decade.
Now that bother input sources produce data and the character level, the
original byte-level encoding is irrelevant. At the character level,
there is no "encoding conflict", because there is no encoding. (There
exists the in-memory encoding used by the JVM, but that's irrelevant to
the discussion and will certainly be the same for all strings used.)
Thus the two input streams can be mixed together without worry of
encoding. If this is not what happens within Wicket, there is a software
bug---but not an "encoding conflict".
I recommend you start by reading read
http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html . If you have any
questions, I'll be happy to answer any specific questions.
I apologize again for being brusk, but I'll do my best to explain things
if others honestly have questions.
