BDS does not handle international language and looks terrible when
it display these japanese titles.
IMHO, bdn.borland.com/ looks very nice with these titles and
abstracts.
bdn.borland.com/article/33552 , say, looks very nice, too - the
only thing that looks weird is the quote by Ruud Schmeitz at the
bottom; there seems to be an encoding problem in the comment editor.
Now Japanese isn't really an international language (like Norwegian,
it's almost exclusively spoken in Japan (modulo recent migration)),
whereas English, French, German and Spanish are - and I'm sure they
are all perfectly supported. As for Japanese, I think the support is
ok (as in a good start) - Japanese contributions can be written and
read.

English users will have no use at all for posts only posted in
japanese as an example.
Nor do US users or I, but it might be useful to Japanese readers, and
how bad can that be?

When a BDN user is logged in, you have information about what
languages he prefer. With this information it should be possible to
filter the BDN posts and not show posts that contains none of his
preferred languages.
That sounds a nice feature for the future.
