Proper encoding of Japanese translation?

I have a translations.Japanese file that was sent to me UTF8 encoded, which doesn't work. Can someone tell me what Windows codepage Installaware expects, and possibly how to transcode my file to the proper codepage?

Actually, I think the file I received is SHIFT-JIS encoded, which might be right. I dropped into into Firefox and set it to view as SHIFT-JIS and it "looks" right. However, when viewing it on my English system within the installer, it looks wrong.

Could it be that it will look "right" on a fully-enabled Japanese machine?

Nevermind - it looks right when running on a Japanese-locale system.

Too bad Installaware isn't Unicode.
