I'm not a Polyglossia user so not so sure but I know that TeXLive 2012/2013 already contains japanese.ldf like /usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/tex/platex/japanese/japanese.ldf on my Debian system. > An English translation of the xeCJK manual would be very much > appreciated (for me, Japanese is also acceptable....). I can't find so many appropriate sites but there are some site on xeCJK written in japanese: http://zrbabbler.sp.land.to/xelatex.html http://oku.edu.mie-u.ac.jp/~okumura/texwiki/?xeCJK > I don't know why there are apparently so few Japanese users of xetex > and xelatex.

I don't understand what you mean with "all kinds of horrible things" but, recently, pTeX/upTeX accepts a file of utf-8 encoding and dvipdfmx might be more standard than dvips.

In TeXLive 2012/2013, we already have LuTeX-ja so LuaLaTeX is a good candidate but I don't think we need to forget XeLaTeX. If you don't need vertical typesettings, I believe both LuaLaTeX and XeLaTeX are good enough. If you need vertical typesettings, I think only pTeX/upTeX is useful practically at present.
