My application is so successful that it needs to go global.

The only problem is that that means Japanese. I don't know the first thing
about making a Japanese language application. I know I have to use Unicode,
but that's about it.

In case it matters, the user will be presented with a dialog, and he can
choose, dynamically, which language it should be rendered in. So, it isn't a
matter of linking a particular resource file for Japanese on one machine, and
a different one for English on a different machine. Both must be available,
based on user choice.

Is there a simple "Hello, World" application for the .Net framework, but in
Japanese? Or any sample applications that make use of Japanese? I don't
even know where to find a Japanese font.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'd try microsoft.public.dotnet.internationalization
