Lingua Franca is an annotation-driven internalisation library for Java. In addiition to vast quality of life improvements and semi-automated generation of locale files, it supports properties, JSON and YAMl files. The companion Maven plugin provides compile-time linting and generation of embedded locale files via the lint and generate goals respectively.
Browsing through the Javadoc to learn how to best use Lingua Franca is not intuitive, hence a quick start and example project are provided. Nevertheless if you prefer, the Javadoc can be found here.
