I tried translate lib/Ui/locales/ja_JP.cfg and it is working well.

I also changed some  buttons for Japanese and placed them interchange/ja_JP.
NO Problem.

The problem is that Japanese 2-byte/8bits character not displayed. I suppose
UI
encode 8bit code. For example, edit table page does not display Kanji, but
spreadsheet
edit page shows them well.
I use EUC-jp, not iso-2022-JP which JIS code, 7bit code.

Any suggestion?

There are some other issues such as currency, state, tax, email encoding,
