the app display right applicaiton title with chinese.

I can't recall what the default encoding of properties files is - you need to ensure that the properties file and the browser are all using the same encoding.

A safe way to avoid this issue is to Unicode escape extended characters in the properties files (i.e. \unnnn).

A nice Eclipse plugin which automatically does the unicode escapes for you is JInto[1], it allows you also to modify multiple property files at a time.
