## Class PropertiesFormat

- java.lang.Object
- - com.google.gwt.i18n.rebind.format.PropertiesFormat

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    MessageCatalogFormat

      public class PropertiesFormat
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements MessageCatalogFormat

  Writes GWT-style Java properties files for translation. This catalog format does not support aggregation of messages from multiple interfaces since there is no way to distinguish messages from another interface from those that were from this interface but no longer used. The output file is assumed to be in UTF-8 encoding rather than using the `\\uXXXX` escapes.
