Hello,

property files are handled according to the Java standard defined for them - no FreeMarker processing is going on here.
When you want to be able to use fragments as globally defined, reusable I18n, you should use the ResourceBundleBootstrapComponent of Spring Surf / Alfresco, and include it in one of your Spring bean configuration files (e.g. custom-application-context.xml). The following wiki page is a bit out-of-date for the more recent Alfresco versions, but still relevant: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/I18N#Registering_a_resource_bundle.

Thanks for answering.

I was hoping for a solution where the file is uploaded to alfresco since I find it easier to modify/redeploy this way.
But your solution is the cleanest I have for now.
I'll leave the post open for a week hoping for some other solution. I'll mark it as solved after that if I get no answer to give you your deserved point
