Does this work for most programs in general?

For example, Evolution doesn't display Japanese characters on my
system.  But I haven't fulled around with locales yet.  Does setting
locales change everything (error messages, etc.) to Japanese?

I work mostly in English, but it would be nice to have my address book
display my Japanese friends properly.  At the moment, everything
Japanese I do under Emacs.

Thanks for any suggestions and ideas.
