Can you please post the output of the following command here:

cat /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local

I'm assuming this is the correct location as Xandros is based on Debian.

Also, you could try the following command (as root) and see if you are
presented with a list of locales to choose from. If you are then
choose anything with a "JP" in it and what else grabs your fancy:

dpkg-reconfigure locales
