Should we have

string.properties - Contains the english language strings
string_fr.properties - Contains the french language properties.

This way if someone selects english as the language it just uses the 
defaults (which happen to be english).

Otherwise if someone selects french then the _fr files are used but we 
fall back to english if a property doesn't exist.

If someone selects russian then they still see the english?

This is how ResourseBundle works:
