J2ME internationalization

I want to provide the binary with *only one* language, because I want to
be as small as I can.

But I want to provide many binaries (one per language).

So, I write the code with hardcoded strings like "$_nearest_dist_$".
I write a file like:
-----english.ini----
$_nearest_dist_$=Nearest distance is 90m
--------------------
and I write a php script which in *.java files, replaces all strings in
form "$_*_$" with language correct string.
php phpWriteStringsToSource.php <project_folder> <language.ini>

THE BIG PROBLEM: I realize that *.java files must have ansi* encoding!
Any of utf-8, uc16le or be is not compiled correct!

So, what I can do?

Not true, take a look at the -encoding switch for javac.
