Well, the locale is a mechanism which provides something
like that as long as you play around in Linux and BSD. and
all translations are separated in
/usr/share/locale/<whatever>. I don't think you can see
Japanese translation without that. you need to set LC_CTYPE
or LC_MESSAGES to ja_JP at least.
