Importing java properties and character encoding issues

Context: You wish your translated Java .properties file to also use escaped Unicode sequences rather than actual Unicode characters.

How To: 

By default, memoQ imports Java .properties files as unicode and "converts" all natively escaped sequences to the corresponding special characters.

To avoid that (for example if you want the translated target files to also have escaped Unicode sequences instead of the actual characters), you need to set the EXPORT encoding as US-ASCII
