[PD] choosing your language at launch WAS: Japanese Pure Data book is out now.

[Seiichiro MATSUMURA]

Thank you for the precise instruction. I could trace this but could not make
Pd-extended0.43.app in the end.
I can run "pd" unix file in "pd-extended/src" folder and see ja.msg is
working partly, not all functions are working correctly like Bang
button object is missing, Vslider is missing, etc.
I need to check all the Japanese translated menu and indication in all
the properties windows.
Do I have to do any other steps for building Pd-extended0.43.app?

I already check "INSTALL.txt" in pd-extended folder and this article
but could not accomplish it.

Best,

Sei Matsumura
