Let's hope that the site, if it ever gets up, includes community languages. English, Chinese, Korean, Portuguese & Tagalog are the largest groups of languages other than Japanese used in Japan.

I won't be holding my breath waiting for them, though.

I'm going on record as saying this will not happen in the next ten years. If any system gets online in less than that, it will be a greatly scaled back version of the original plan.

I bet it crashes for about five years after they first turn it on. I've seen enough "does everything" software. It never fails to fail. Better keep your important papers in a fireproof box as a backup...
