You will read the followings in README.Debian;
But the current maintainer does not know about this issue so precisely
so please let me know any deficiency if you find.
I'm willing to refine any deficiency in a wrapper.

On a console, a wrapper will display with english and under X11
on an appropriate terminal (which supports UTF-8) it will display
with japanese. Ideally it would behave like that way for any
LANG but I don't now how it should setup environments for
european users nor arabic nor hindi ...
