Java 8 find and replace matching strings (strings)

I am trying to find a string from messages.propertiesin errorMessage, and if it errorMessagehas a string, I need to replace it with the corresponding value

I have messages.propertiesas below

inv_date=INVOICE DATE
inv_id=INVOICE NUMBER
cl_id=CLIENT ID
lf_matter_id=LAW FIRM MATTER ID
inv_total_net_due=INVOICE TOTAL
(inv_start_date|invoice start date)=BILLING START DATE
(inv_end_date|invoice end date)=BILLING END DATE
inv_desc=INVOICE DESCRIPTION
units=LINE ITEM NUMBER OF UNITS
discount_amount=LINE ITEM ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT
total_amount=LINE ITEM TOTAL
(charge_date|charge date)= LINE ITEM DATE
acca_task=LINE ITEM TASK CODE
acca_expense=LINE ITEM EXPENSE CODE
acca_activity= LINE ITEM ACTIVITY CODE
(tk_id|time keeper id)=TIMEKEEPER ID
charge_desc=LINE ITEM DESCRIPTION
lf_id=LAW FIRM ID
(BaseRate|Rate|tk_rate)=LINE ITEM UNIT COST
tk_level=TIMEKEEPER CLASSIFICATION
cl_matter_id=CLIENT MATTER ID

My errorMesagecan have any (left) row, and I need to replace it with the value of the right side row

Below are some examples of error messages.

String errorMesage1 = "Line 3 : Could not parse inv_date value" 
String errorMesage2 = "Line : 1 BaseRate is a required field"

below is my method that converts the error message

public static String toUserFriendlyErrorMessage(String message) {
    ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("messages");
    for(String key : rb.keySet()){
        String header = rb.getString(key);
        if(message.contains(key)) {
          return message.replaceAll(key, rb.getString(key));           
        }
    }
    return message;

}

Below is the expected result: for errorMessage1 it works fine

System.out.println(toUserFriendlyErrorMessage(errorMessage1)); ==> Line 3 : Could not parse INVOICE DATE value

But for errorMessage2 it does not work. It does not replace BaseRatewithLINE ITEM UNIT COST

System.out.println(toUserFriendlyErrorMessage(errorMessage2)); ==> Line : 1 BaseRate is a required field

Is there a way to find the appearance of multiple lines and replace it with the appropriate value?

For example: find (BaseRate|Rate|tk_rate)and replace the string withLINE ITEM UNIT COST

regualr Map Java:

static Map<String, String> replacements = new HashMap<>();
static {
    replacements.put("inv_date", "INVOICE DATE");
    replacements.put("(BaseRate|Rate|tk_rate)", "LINE ITEM UNIT COST");
    // ... more stuff ...
}

, = Map.

, (BaseRate|Rate|tk_rate), , replaceAll, , , replaceAll , contains .

public static String toUserFriendlyErrorMessage(String message) {
    for (String key : replacements.keySet()) {
        message = message.replaceAll(key, replacements.get(key));
    }
    return message;
}

:

Line 3 : Could not parse INVOICE DATE value
Line : 1 LINE ITEM UNIT COST is a required field

, " Java 8", reduce, , .

    return replacements.keySet().stream()
            .reduce(message, (s, k) -> s.replaceAll(k, replacements.get(k)))
            .toString();
