Languages:
Our preference data is composed of a set of name->value pairs. The setting names are often "namespaced" with dot ('.') separated words. Many JOSM plugins will store preferences grouped in a namespace.
You can get a similar raw view by viewing this file, but this 'Advanced' preferences panel is intended to provide a easier alternative.
Menus
Most of the settings can be reached via menus
- Help/Action/Preferences (see also Help/Keys by menu)
Other preferences
preferences.xml
Schema
http://josm.openstreetmap.de/preferences-1.0
Some descriptions can be found in Help/Preferences/ImportExport (stub)

Probably outdated info below:

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\JOSM\plugins.
Linux

To show the contents of this hidden folder, use the file manager and enter "~/.josm" in the address line (if no address line is visible just try to enter a letter and hopefully a popup to enter the address will open). Alternatively it is possible to "show hidden" files and folders in the file manager, using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+H.
MacOS

To show the contents of this hidden folder, use the Finders Go to folder menu command (Cmd+Shift+G), and enter "~/.josm") in the dialog that pops up.
