Overview
The Application Internationalization Manager makes it easy to internationalize your Appian application by providing an easy-to-use interface for managing your application text items (form labels, error messages etc.). It also provides an easy-to-use function that resolves the user’s locale and returns the right resource bundle.
The Application Internationalization Manager is meant to be used in conjunction with the Load Resource Bundle plug-in. All labels in a database and are exported to a resource bundle which is then read by the Load Resource Bundle plug-in. This minimizes the risk of error when having to manually edit a Resource Bundle file. In addition, it allows business users to manage text items in your applications without your intervention.

Hello vishalg,
The principal difference is that labels are stored in a database intead of a file. Because of this, we were able to bundle an application that allows you to manage labels directly from Appian which is more convienient than editing a text file. You can expose this application to the business and allow them to directly manage the labels, error messages contained in your Appian applications.
The Load Resource Bundle plugin is actually pretty fast and we plan to leverage it in a future release by providing the option to export AIM labels into resource bundles which can then be read by the LRB plugin.
I hope this answers your question.
Thanks,
Mat
