I have managed to get Japanese to work, but using UTF-8.  It should mean 
I can render a mixture of languages on my page.

I have this at the top of every page:

<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>

I can check that this is being set correctly in the browser with the 
following:

Mozilla: Open View->Page Info and look at Encoding
IE: Open View->Encoding

I convert my application.properties file with the following ant task

<native2ascii encoding="UTF-8" src="${project.build.src}" 
dest="${project.build.output}">
   <include name="**/*.properties"/>
</native2ascii>

This converts the file and puts it into the classes directory.
So I end up with lines like:

login.username=\u30ed\u30b0\u30a4\u30f3

The final part is making sure I use a style sheet that specifies a 
Unicode font (eg can display any language).  The wrong font will display 
as ???.
