Looking at mysql-dfsg-5.0-5.0.38/sql/share/errmsg.txt, it appears that encodings are hardcoded for translations in a single multiple-encoding file. These strings are then directly mapped into the various errmsg.sys files. Looking more deeply, it appears that there is about 10% coverage in Japanese in the error strings, so I should be able to replicate with a bit more effort. Once done, I'll create new launchpad and upstream bugs for mysql-server to use the default encoding of the server (or better, the client) when presenting error messages.

This bug should only track the default database encoding, so that stored strings round-trip properly from a UTF8 locale.
