I18N by default should not try to modify hardcoded text in annotations. 
Of course this can be prevented by NOI18N comment

Example:
Calling I18N on following code will produce not compilable code.

public class NewMain {
	
	@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
	public void method() {
		Thread.currentThread().destroy();
	}
}
