.properties is a file extension for files mainly used in Java related technologies to store the configurable parameters of an application. They can also be used for storing strings for Internationalization and localization; these are known as Property Resource Bundles.
You can either import and export .properties manually on the dashboard or you can automate your mozilla translation process with the GL Strings Localization CLI.
