Well, IMO the user has a point.

If the app is available in Japan (via market) it would be reasonable
to expect that there is a Japanese translation. Imagine how pissed you
would be to be inundated with thousands of apps in German/French/
Swahili etc.

You have the option of restricting in which countries your app is
visible. Remove it from the Japanese market (and where ever else is
pertinent).

It is unfortunate that market only allows filtering on a country/
carrier basis.
It would be reasonable to be able to filter based on a users selected
locale. Then you could distribute your English/French app world-wide
but only to those users with either English/French set as their
language of choice.

But since we don't have that then it would seem prudent/reasonable to
restrict your app to mainly English speaking countries.
