I looked into this further, and it seems there are message files around
for the Japanese locale for glibc-2.1.3 onwards, but nothing really
standard yet.

It rather worries me that on the basis of some codes set inside
a PDF file, Acroread presumably tried to change locale so that error
messages came out in Japanese. Another case of the "if you want to
use Japanese text, you need to convert your OS to Japanese operation"
style of thinking?

Why is it that I keep getting the impression that a lot of people are
VERY confused over I18N   8-)}
