# Java properties files (.properties)

BabelEdit supports these 2 formats for properties files:

*   Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1)
*   UTF-8

You can convert them from one into the other encoding in your project settings.

Example:

```yaml
app.description = A simple entry in a .properties file
app.title = Hello World
```
