Description of problem:

Java .properties files often contain entries which are not meant to be
translated, but are instead a form of configuration.  (Sometimes it's the
entire file, sometimes not.)

We should implement a mechanism which would allow developers to mark up
sections of .properties files as non-translatable, so that they won't be
imported into Zanata and modified by translators, creating additional work and
potentially introducing runtime bugs.

This page describes a suggested scheme:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Globalization_Guidelines#Non-translatable_Message_Strings

We already have an implementation for this scheme in Zanata (in PropReader), it
just needs to be integrated into the REST client.
