They are here:
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/70648a6a153e5d321f78cf6445a9703f41083725/src/jdk.compiler/share/classes/com/sun/tools/javac/resources/compiler_ja.properties#L1103

I am afraid I don't know what is the meaning of those. In any case - the key was an issue for translating, so I don't think we should keep it.
