Currently Kolab2 is well progressing and I expect some kind of release later 
this year. 

You are welcome to give the current Kolab 2 code already a try. 

On the other hand i18n is already solved for the KDE client see: 

	http://i18n.kde.org/ 

http://i18n.kde.org/stats/gui/KDE_3_3_BRANCH/index.php shows that about 87 
percent of the current KDE 3.3 branch and 75% of the HEAD branch are already 
translated to japanese. KDE does also include the KDE Kolab client (kontact)

Another isssue is the server admin GUI. Internally the server is supposed to 
only use UTF-8 so we should be safe in this regard. The admin GUI needs some 
gettext support which we did not add sofar. This is an excellent area for 
either community contribution or contracting. With the gettext support in the 
admin gui we will be able to use the KDE toolchain http://i18n.kde.org/tools/
