John,
When your app is not launching or crashing in Japanese localization,
it's most likely misuses of deprecated NSString's C string API.
Look for any uses of cString, initWithCString:, etc. Also, you need
to be prepared to get nil/NULL returned fron NSString/CFString
instantiation API. In English localization, they never fail just
because the system encoding happens to be MacRoman that maps all
bytes between 0x00 and 0xFF.

(Replying to the list, as this may be helpful to others)
There is no such thing as a "Japanese Version" of OS X. The same
version is used worldwide. If you want to test how your app behaves on
a Japanese user's system, just:
1) Open "System Preferences"
2) Go to the "International" preference pane
3) Click on the "Language" tab
4) Click the "Edit List…" button
5) Enable the "日本語" entry (it should be near the bottom if
you sort by
language name)
6) Press the "OK" button
7) In the list on the left, drag the new japanese entry to the top of
the list (making it the primary language
8) Start your app
When you're done, you'll want to put English back at the top of that
list (unless you want everything on your machine to be in Japanese :)
)
If you still need help, feel free to contact me off list (I know a bit
of Japanese, and might be able to help)

Hello:
I'm wondering if I could find a kind volunteer to help me track down
a problem with my app not starting up using the Japanese version of
OS X (10.4.4). I don't know if this a problem with any two-byte
enabled system, or specific to the Japanese version. While I do have
some ideas of what the problem might be, it would be an enormous help
to me if there is someone out there who has a Japanese version
running, speaks Japanese and would be willing to help me off-list
(via iChat, for example). When I find the problem, I promise to post
the exact nature of the problem and solution to the list, but for now
I need someone who can play detective with me.
Any volunteers? Best would be simply to contact me off list j4johnfox
at mac com
Many thanks,
John
