I know there was a thread on this topic a while ago, but it was never resolved. Kitura figured out how, and now I'm posting to share with you all :happy:

*NOTE* You may need administrative privileges and the Windows installation disk to do these things.

Windows XP:

Have Japanese (Far East Language Pack) installed on your computer
From the main menu in Warcraft III, go to Options -> Gameplay -> set the chat support to 'Japanese'
From the Windows XP Control Panel through the start button, go to Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Advanced. The top half of the tab should say, "Language for non-Unicode programs," select Japanese, reboot, start WC3 and enjoy.


Windows Vista:

Have Japanese (Far East Language Pack) installed on your computer
From the main menu in Warcraft III, go to Options -> Gameplay -> set the chat support to 'Japanese'
From the Windows Vista Control Panel through the start button, go to Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Administrative. The top half of the tab should say, "Language for non-Unicode programs," select Japanese (you may need the Windows CD to do this), reboot, start WC3 and enjoy.


End result:



どういたしまして! Enjoy~


P.S. It would be great if a mod stickied this~

P.S.S. I realize the font on used for English is very narrow and small, at present I don't know of any way to change that. However, there is a sliver lining in that it makes ignoring smacktards in RT and DotA easier to ignore.

"I realize the font on used for English is very narrow and small"

Replace Japanese with English and just do what he said.

If you right click on taskbar on your desktop you can bring up the language bar as such:

right click taskbar>Toolbars>Language Bar

From here there are several options and you can switch between languages.

Good Luck

You spelled こんにちは wrong. It's with a ha, not a wa.
