    I tranlated en.php into Japanese and made ja.php.
    I put it in languages/ directory and chose 'ja' in Configuration.

    Very few messages are displayed in Japanese.
    Almost all are still English.
    What am I missing ?

      The templates from 0.8.2 still have a ton of English in them.  We are working on removing all that from the templates in 0.9.0 and placing all text in the language files.  Once that is done, translating the strings in the relevant language file will (hopefully) cause the entire interface to be localized.

      0.9.0cr1 looks much better for localization.
      But I still see a lot of English strings.
      It seems these come from c_templates/*.
      Can I localize these, too ?

        c_templates is the directory where the templates are stored that have been processed by smarty.  To affect what is in that output, you need to edit the html templates in the templates/default directory.  There is still a bit of English to be removed, but you'll find that there are many {$STRING.xxx} variables throughout the templates that represent text substitutions.
