I put it at the top of texi2html.pl

The problem is that the japanese characters are stored as wide characters in 
the translations file, and the file writer appears to split them up (unless 
they are read as utf8 from the perl source code, so perl knows they are utf8), 
while the console understands them as wide characters.
