I had done this when I originally installed phpGroupWare -- I selected 
English and Japanese languages at the same time from the setup screen 
languages option.  Later, after testing it on a Japanese computer, I went 
back into setup and re-installed the Japanese language.

I did this for the Japanese users.

The Japanese messages are not readable on the Japanese PC's after the above 
was done.

Unfortunately, due to my workload this week, I won't be able to visit the 
offices where the Japanese PC's are to do any more testing until early next 
week.

Thanks!  I'm looking forward to the 0.9.16 release, especially since this 
site is still in testing phase -- in an effort to bridge the Japanese 
office and the US office for productions schedules, etc. -- I know the 
users will looking forward to it as well.
