Joey, I agree with your concerns. You're basically saying to find a common language among all the people involved. I second that it'd be bad practice to make meaning or intent of code harder to understand than it needs to be. The situations where I use Japanese in my code is limited to stand-alone prototypes that propose a new concept.
Now, if I were to be in a environment where the primary language is Japanese, things were a little bit different. The goals, as you have pointed out, are still the same: Full internationalization and full unicode support. How do we get there?
