And the resources can be further translated to various languages, saved to new XML files with Locale identifiers in file name.

For example, if translated into Chinese, write a new XML file named tutor/msg/Simple_zh.msg.xml containing the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<java>
  <text>
    <yr-age>
      <![CDATA[{year} 年的时候, {name} {age} 岁.]]>
      <args>
        <name>name of the person</name>
        <age default-value="26">his/her age in that year</age>
        <year default-value="2002">the year</year>
      </args>
    </yr-age>
  </text>
</java>

This snippet is from tutor/msg/Simple_zh.msg.xml

Here is a clue that not all natural languages have plural grammars, the translated Chinese is a proof.
