Ok. Thanks for the info Mr. Suzuki...
BTW, the X Window that we are use is the tiny X server for embedded systems. 
We only noticed this now because we are not the one doing the X window
port for FRV, Im very sorry for this. We used the XFree86-4.3.0 package
and it has been built with "-DNO_LOCALE -DX_LOCALE" standard defines.

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).
