Localizing Actions and Action Models
Locale-specific strings required for action definitions and action model definitions are managed in Java resource files.
If you want to modify existing properties or add new entries to existing Java resource files, refer Text Tailoring Utility for more information.
If you want to use a resourcebundle for custom actions and custom action models, use a Java resource file.

The actual value for the entry is specified using the RBEntry annotation as shown:

Icon and description:
You can also specify a resourceBundle property on the <objecttype> element. If an <action> element does not specify a resourceBundle property, the resourceBundle property specified on the <objecttype> element for that action is used.
Localize Action Models
Some action models need a display label (for example, third-level navigation action models or menu bar action models). You can specify the Java resource file to use on your action model:
<model name="relatedItems"
resourceBundle="com.ptc.core.ui.navigationRB">
resourceBundle="com.ptc.core.ui.navigationRB">
