Japanese translation

[mattn]

add japanese translation. I looked to remove bJAPAN/bKOREAJAPAN/JAPANBEGIN/JAPANEND. But it is need to keep behavior for users who want to use english on japanese locale.

[mattn]

Please want merge. Some dialogs still have problems for sizes.

[mattn]

Now ready to merge.

bJapan/bJAPAN is set when the language is LANG_JAPANESE. If you are happy with the LANG_JAPANESE behavior, that's good enough for me.

Thanks!

Great work.
But this translation does not appear to follow Microsoft style guide.

According to the style guide,

• We should use a space between katakana-words. e.g. "ツール (space) バー" instead of "ツールバー". (Style guide §3.1.7)
• Today, we should use ”－" for English suffix "-er" or "-or", e.g. "ファイル (space) マネージャー" instead of "ファイルマネージャー" or "ファイル (space) マネージャ". ("Katakana prolonged sound mark" of §3.1.14)

If you want to make a nostalgic style (win3.1, win9x and old NT style),

• We should use Half-width katakana instead of Full-width katakana for menu bar items, e.g. "ﾂｰﾙ(space)ﾊﾞｰ" instead of "ツールバー" or "ツール(space)バー".
• In this case, we shouldn't use katakana prolonged sound mark for "-er" or "-or", e.g. "ﾌｧｲﾙ(space)ﾏﾈｰｼﾞｬ" instead of "ファイル マネージャ" or "ファイル マネージャー".

Note: The rule of katakana prolonged sound mark ("ー" for "-er" or "-or") has changed in 2008.

@fetus-hina Thanks your advice. I'm not familier to the guide since MS changed style recently after I learned the older style (no spaces, no suffix -er).

Could you please correct words in curent translation? Below is a file listed japanese katakana words in resource files.

@fetus-hina If you are going to make PR, please wait for #138 since this PR change words and dialog sizes.

[mattn]

Okay, I'll fix with spaces and suffix -er in my self. Sorry.

I think we may not leave Japanese translations in res_en-US.rc.

Since localization for many countries and languages are working in process, it's not a good idea to contain Japanese translations for them (for example res_zh-CN.rc and res_pl-PL.rc now).

@craigwi
Translators from other countries can't read Japanese words and just make a copy of res_en-US.rc for their work. So JAPANBEGIN and JAPANEND may leave many rubbish in their works.

There seems to be a different of opinion on whether to leave the JAPANBEGIN/END stuff in or not. My request is for someone who can figure out what is going on to propose a specific change. Thanks.
