Japanese localisation on an English OS

Temporary solution (side effects not tested for) until I can find a new copy of wince.nls from Japan: replace wince.nls with Win2003’s (1st edition) wince.nls. Ensure that MS Gothic font is in the \Windows folder and not the \Windows\Fonts folder.
This is a cleaned up version of this site’s code.
