Yes, it is relevant. Some of the PO file from the Japanese translators
at <https://translationproject.org/team/ja.html> still are in EUC-JP
encoding. When the corresponding .mo files are made with a GNU gettext
version older than 0.22, they are in EUC-JP as well, and when iconv()
does not support EUC-JP, gettext() will not be able to process these
translations.

These are modules. Why do you think that you have no other choice than
installing them all or installing none of them? Where do you get this
black-and-white thinking from?
