Just to be sure, by content you mean <PKIT_CONTENT sommething> right?

I think it should work, but these charsets are unknown to me. Lets try it out.

- First I do not know the charsets, how are the names for the three?
- Is it possible to express all three in one common charset (UTF8 perhaps?)?

my favorite charset is ISO-8859-1 or nowdays ISO-8859-15.

a quick test looks good to me. See the attached files:

jap.xml
jap.tmpl

Copy jap.xml into your Content directory.
Copy jap.tmpl into View/Default.

Then call http://your_site/jap

and you get either the japan version if your favorite lang is ja or the 
default en version. To force a special version set pkit_lang either with 
pkit_lang in the url ( http://your_site/jap?pkit_lang=ja ) or from your 
modelcode.

Perhaps you need to change default_input_charset and default_output_charset in 
your Config.xml to UTF8.

There are some more pitfalls that you may encount later, while uploading 
someting to your server via areatext and serialize data to a database or XS 
( C ). If you lose the UTF8 flag you need to restore it yourself. But this is 
another story. Let me know how it works so far.

If you have any difficulty, I try to help on the charset issue.
