If you want to detect the primary locale or language at run time, I  
can suggest only what the code might look like. Perhaps someone can  
supply the missing details.

'-----------------------
local fn IsPrimaryLocaleJapanese
  dim as Boolean  isJapanese

  DearMacSystemPleaseGetLocaleInfo( ... ) // no such API
  long if ( userLocaleInfoSaysJapaneseIsPreferredToEnglish ) // no  
such variable
   isJapanese = _zTrue
  xelse
   isJapanese = _false
  end if

end fn = isJapanese



long if ( fn IsPrimaryLocaleJapanese )
  fn DoJapaneseTasks
xelse
  fn DoEnglishTasks
end if
'-----------------------


Alternatively, consider localizing your program at compile time by  
providing two versions:

'-----------------------
_compilingJapaneseVersionOfMyProgram = 0 // 0 or 1

#if _compilingJapaneseVersionOfMyProgram
fn DoJapaneseTasks
#else
fn DoEnglishTasks
#endif
'-----------------------
