+# babel-japanese
+
+The package "babel-japanese" (or shortly, "japanese" package) provides
+`japanese` option for Babel package. It defines all the language
+definition macros in Japanese.
+
+Currently this package works on pLaTeX, upLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX.
+
+
+## Limitations
+
+Note that this package is not perfect: the word order in Japanese is
+different from that in most Western languages including English, so
+the words like "Part" or "Chapter" cannot be replaced with Japanese
+counterpart. This limitation is due to the design of classes.dtx
+(article.cls etc), which has \chaptername in front of the numbering
+but no sequence behind the number.
+
+The common Japanese classes including (u)jclasses in (u)pLaTeX,
+jsclasses, ltj(s)classes in LuaTeX-ja are well-supported.
+
+
+## Installation
+
+1) Process japanese.ins with some tex engine. For example, using lualatex:
+
+ lualatex japanese.ins
+
+When you use platex, give -kanji=utf8 option.
+
+ platex -kanji=utf8 japanese.ins
+
+You will get japanese.ldf (the main code) and japanese-sample.tex (sample
+document for pLaTeX).
+
+2) Process documentation, japanese.dtx and japanese-sample.tex, as you wish.
+japanese.dtx can be processed with pLaTeX, upLaTeX or LuaLaTeX.
+japanese-sample.tex is written for pLaTeX.
+
+ platex -kanji=utf8 japanese.dtx
+ dvipdfmx japanese.dvi
+ platex -kanji=utf8 japanese-sample.tex
+ dvipdfmx japanese-sample.dvi
+
+3) Deploy the directory or files in an appropriate place under the TEXMF tree.
+
+ * japanese.ldf
+ => $TEXMF/tex/latex/japanese
+ * japanese.dtx
+ => $TEXMF/source/latex/japanese
+ * japanese.pdf, japanese-sample.tex, japanese-sample.pdf
+ => $TEXMF/doc/latex/japanese
+
+4) Execute mktexlsr.
