[PD] Japanese language problem

[Dan Wilcox]

It's a bug. Pd should be able to handle unicode in this case.

In the meantime, you can set the LANG environment variable when starting Pd to English as detailed in https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/po/README.txt#L42 <https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/po/README.txt#L42>
