I agree.

Japanese users are very useful to us, but it is hard for Japanese to
learn English and for English speakers to learn Japanese. Translated
documentation is very important.

I favor having translated documentation in the base system. Perhaps in
a separate syspkg so not everyone need install it. However, I think it is
required that it be part of the base system, so that it will be
treated properly.
