Translations tab showing a resource bundle as one table with Default, de, es, fr and pt_BR columns; missing values and placeholder mismatches are colored

What you get

One table with every key as a row and every language as a column

Every language side by side

One row per key, one column per language, Default first. Edit a cell and the value goes into that language's file.

Only missing or mismatched rows shown, with the count in the status line

Only what is left to translate

Show only missing or mismatched rows. The status line counts keys, languages, missing values and placeholder mismatches.

Editing a Spanish value directly in the table

Fill it in where you see it

Type the translation into the empty cell, paste a column from a spreadsheet, or fill a whole selection with one value.

What it does

Shows what is left to translate

Missing values, empty values and placeholder mismatches such as {0}, {0,number}, {name}, %s and %1$s are colored. Filter to them or search keys and values.

Changes a key in every language

Add, rename or delete a key once and it changes in every language file. Add a new language such as pt_BR in one step.

Works with Excel and Google Sheets

Copy and paste cells as tab-separated text, with multi-line values quoted. One pasted value fills the whole selection; Delete clears cells.

Keeps your files clean

Comments and key order stay. Characters the file encoding cannot hold are written as \uXXXX.

Undoes in one step

Every change, even one across all language files, is one Ctrl+Z.

How to use it

  1. Install Resource Bundle Table from Settings | Plugins | Marketplace.
  2. Open any .properties file of a resource bundle, such as messages.properties or messages_de.properties.
  3. Pick the Translations tab at the bottom of the editor.
  4. Turn on Only missing or mismatched, fill in the colored cells, and switch back to the text tab at any time to see the file itself.

Questions

How do I edit all languages of a .properties resource bundle in one table in IntelliJ IDEA?

Install Resource Bundle Table, open any .properties file of the bundle, such as messages.properties or messages_de.properties, and pick the Translations tab at the bottom of the editor. Every key is one row and every language is one column, with Default first. Click a cell to edit it; the change is written to that language's file.

How do I find missing translations in IntelliJ?

Resource Bundle Table colors missing and empty values in the Translations tab of the resource bundle, plus values whose placeholders such as {0}, {0,number}, {name}, %s or %1$s differ from the Default language. Turn on Only missing or mismatched to see just those rows. The status line shows how many keys, languages, missing values and placeholder mismatches the bundle has.

Can I copy translations to Excel or Google Sheets and paste them back?

Yes. Select cells and press Ctrl+C to copy them as tab-separated text, which Excel and Google Sheets paste into separate cells. Values with line breaks are quoted. Copy cells from a spreadsheet and press Ctrl+V in the table to paste them back. One copied value pasted into a selection fills every selected cell, and Delete clears the selected cells.

How do I add a new language or rename a key in every properties file at once?

In the Translations tab, add, rename or delete a key once and it changes in every language file of the bundle. Add Language creates a new file such as messages_pt_BR.properties in one step and shows it as a new column. Every change, even one that touches all language files, is undone with one Ctrl+Z.

Does editing in the table change my comments, key order or file encoding?

Comments and key order stay as they are, and only the values you change are rewritten. Characters that the file encoding cannot hold are written as \uXXXX escapes, so the files keep loading the same way in your application.
