How can I use wicket i18n features without a running wicket application

Question

Given:

• a wicket application with fully configured *.properties files for multiple languages

Required:

• a batch application should also be able to get a localized value, using key and locale, with locale fallbacks and so on, behaving just like wicket normally does this.

Tried so far:

• WicketApplication.get().getResourceSettings().getLocalizer() - does not work, as no wicket application is available in the context of batch application.

See org.apache.wicket.resource.loader.ComponentStringResourceLoader#loadStringResource(java.lang.Class, java.lang.String, java.util.Locale, java.lang.String, java.lang.String) [1]. This is where the magic happens.
