Suggest you email the author: mailto:moriq@moriq.com
Of course, he didn't do the web page translation himself, so his
English may not be good.

I agree. In fact, I think Kylix will help the future of Linux as well.

I'm sure it's not just "for" the Japanese, else why bother to translate the
web
page?

One problem may be: Maybe the developers simply don't know English.
Many Japanese know no English at all. (If someone asked me to translate
my docs INTO Japanese, I don't know what I'd do... :))

Of course, programmers often hate to write documentation. It may be that
there
is little of it even in Japanese.

Suggestions:
1. Again, email the author.
2. Put the Apollo docs on the list of material to be translated. (Where is
that
    maintained? I forgot.)
3. Run any Japanese docs through an automatic translator. Crude, yes, but
    often better than nothing.

Cheers,
Hal
