Hi Hyu (and I apologize if I am getting your name wrong, please correct
me if so).  I've seen all the work you've done, so thank you!

Yes, these are a big job, which is why they're usually done by small
teams.  I seem to remember we had a young lady doing some translation
for the ja locale, but haven't heard from her in some time.  You may
find her name in the PO file, and get in touch with her for additional
help.

Yes, because the "ja" locale is not part of the OTHERS variable in the
Makefile yet, due its incomplete state.

You can override the Makefile definition like this:

make OTHERS="ja" postat-ja

You can also simply run the manual command "msgfmt --stat ja.po" at any
time.  However, this won't fix the problem you're seeing, which is due
to the errors in your PO file.  I think I've fixed those, so make sure
you PO is up to date ("cvs up").  Another helpful command:

make OTHERS="ja" validate-xml-ja

If you have errors in your PO file, this will certainly expose them as
well.  Feel free to post errors and ask for help here or on IRC in
#fedora-docs at any time!

No problem, that's the essence of teamwork!
