I'd like to be able to duplicate this on my Mac if possible. However, when creating a new User account, I don't see any options for different languages. (Is the only option installing a new OS and selecting Japanese upon startup?)

But you might be able to help the user past the root cause by asking them if they've purchased other apps, and if so, do those run? Do they see a password prompt? Did they copy the app to a different computer? Did they buy the app through the Mac App Store? :-)

After that, all started applications will use their Japanese localization. If you log out and log in again as that user, the Finder will also be in Japanese.
