[thelist] Japanese translations

[Neal Watkins]

I actually have a word doc with the Japanese translations - but applying to a
webpage is a total different thing.

I cannot get it to render correctly

Do i need a specofic font?

do all the japanese fonts need to be converted into character code?

first time dealing with asian languages obviously

thanks

Neal
