RE: [jira] Created: (OFBIZ-385) Externalize strings for translation. . Normalize existing keys.

Gerrie Myburg  [ MTN - Innovation Centre ]
2 Corrections on stuff below.

1. Strings taken out are string that is one or more valid word that
contains a white space. The rest of the rules hold

2.
Strings are places one of 4 files

1. Exception.properties       -- exception error messages
2. Message.properties         -- general messages
3. UndefContext.properties    -- I cannot derive the context
4. Error.properties           -- Debug log messages
