If you installed it as a normal user GNUbg should look for the gtk20.mo 
file in
%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local\share\locale\ja\LC_MESSAGES\
or possibly the same with ja_JP instead of ja. If it was installed as 
administrator it will certainly be elsewhere. Annoyingly this is outside 
of its installation directory.

You can check this with the Process Monitor tool available here:

Start gnubg and look with Tools / File Summary / By Extension.

It is probably possible to do things at program startup to tell it to 
look elsewhere but this is an area I don't know much. I left everything 
about internationalization as it was (with the exception of converting 
to UTF-8) and never really investigated.
