Japanese translation res.rc patch

[Brian Inglis]

Ya Takeda-san,

You may wish to consider installing Cygwin package po4a https://po4a.org/ which 
does the same job under Cygwin.

See https://po4a.org/man/ or after installation read po4a(7) and po4a(1p):

msguntypot (1p)      - update PO files when a typo is fixed in POT file
po4a (1p)            - update both the PO files and translated documents in one shot
po4a (7)             - framework to translate documentation and other materials
po4a-display-man (1) - display a translated man page according to a PO
po4a-display-pod (1) - display of a translated POD file according to a PO
po4a-gettextize (1p) - convert an original file (and its translation) to a PO file
po4a-normalize (1p)  - normalize a documentation file by parsing it in po4a, and 
writing it back
po4a-translate (1p)  - convert a PO file back to documentation format
po4a-updatepo (1p)   - update the translation (in PO format) of documentation

[Don't forget the blank space after '-- ' in your signature to allow stripping.]

Best wishes.
