IBM's alphaWorks has released the Resource Bundle Inspector For Java, a tool that "enables initial verification and inspection of translated messages in resource bundles before product testing is done. These translated messages have come from different geographical translation centers. This tool helps testers to speed up the verification of messages before integrating them into any product. Bugs found in translated messages can be detected at early stage of product testing cycle; this helps in increasing the testing cycle efficiency."
