title: How to automatically encode Unicode Strings when externalizing in Intellij IDEA
body: <p>I want to prepare resource bundle with localized strings. The problem is that java properties files don't support unicode. Therefore, I need to keep strings like \u0412\u044B... in my properties file. Is there a way to translate strings into such format automatically using Intellij IDEA?</p>

  <p>I tried to use some embedded editor but it doesn't covert strings to \u0412\u044B... representation.</p>
