Absolutely love this article. I always enjoy seeing historic parts of WordPress brought up in articles, like the 11 year old forum thread and seeing a response by Matt. Those were the days! I love how the Japanese WordPress community puts a capital C in Community. It was a blast meeting some of them at WordCamp San Francisco last year. I also found out that they're huge fans of the Tavern :)

I hope the WordPress internationalization efforts and language pack projects can help the Japanese people and others in contributing to WordPress core. Great article and thank you Japanese WordPress community for Wapuu!
