Are you asking about fields or category values here?

As for fields, the only thing that changes for non-English ROMs is 
the ordering of fields for display/edit purposes. The record data in 
the PDB always has the same structure.

With Japanese there's a small wrinkle. The first, last, and company 
name fields all consist of two parts, separated by a 0x01 byte. The 
first part is the normal name, while the second part is the yomi 
(pronunciation) for the name. If there's no 0x01 byte, then the field 
is assumed to consist of only the name, without any yomi.
