If I understand it correctly properties are meant to be used for 
configuration
data which differ between siblings - or in other words the properties 
configure
the sibling they belong to. If this is correct you are trying to go 
against
the paradigm of OpenCms.
One of the properties is the locale - how much sense would it make to be 
able
to switch between several locales in some sort of editor in order to fill 
in
the value of the locale property ?

If you want to configure stuff in a locale dependant way I guess it could 
be
done via xmlcontent where you map the properties you desire to acess 
through
the xml editor and use the language switching mechanism there.

There are several of the xmlcontent examples that come with OpenCms where
you can edit the "Title" property in this way.

Note that if you afterwards set the affected property through the property
dialog it will override the xmlcontent (until next time you save it - then 
it
reverts to the value in the xmlcontent)

Cheers,

Carl
