Hi Akiko, The Getting Started Guide is released open source with Kepler, so you can do a translation. That would be great. We would really appreciate it if you would contribute a translated version back to the project and manage the translated document in the Kepler repository so that we can keep all of the different language versions of the manual together. I understand that there might also be a Chinese language version at some time. By contirbuting your translation back to the project and storing it in our shared Kepler source code system, we could then generate a version of the Kepler distribution that includes the Japanese guide, as well as get the guide on the web site alongside the English versions. If this is ok with you, I'd be happy to get write access to the repository for you and create an appropriate place for your documents there. The current documents are in SVN here:
http://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler-docs/trunk/outreach/documentation/ The working subdirectory there contains the original MS Word files for each guide, and the shipping directory contains the PDF versions of the files that ship in the Kepler release. If you could add on a language suffix to the filename we could easily keep other versions right there (e.g., getting-started-guide_jp.doc). Would this work for you?
