Japanese messages on widgets are extracted from GNU gettext
message catalogues. glibc-2.2.x and later have internal
gettext. But you use X_LOCALE, it won't be initialized
correctly and fallback into LANG=C mode. Even if you install
GNU gettext package separately, gettext in libc will be used
(because gtk+ configure has no option to specify which gettext
should be used).
