I see. Thank you all for the comments and opinions.
I'll let the /trans/xx/ dir leave as they are.
Sorry for my ignorance. we often use "native2ascii" (and reverse)
or whatever when thinking about l10n and i18n: e.g. Java Resource Bundle.
However, it might not be common in western europe, US, etc......
Right. I got it.
Again, thank you for all the comments.
Sincerely,

P.S.
For example, "�r" compose one 'kanji' character, while "�s" compose
another 'kanji', automatically. This is so called 'multi-byte problem'.
Mail Clients can deal with these properly as long as the mail headers
("charset") are set appropriately, on the other hand text editors can
not do this well. This means that maybe I will not be able to 'commit'
the efforts of translations of es,de,it,.... posted in bugzilla (or [PATCH])
