Many thanks for your work and mail. Hardcoding language codes is only
required for the optional translation of the Japanese language Logo
commands to their English equivalents (“magic” icon on the Logo toolbar).
Only English to Japanese translation works now, but I will set Japanese
language guessing, too.

Yes, you can. LibreLogo uses the Unicode database of the CPython
distribution to recognize the letters/word boundaries, so I believe, it has
to be work with Japanese, too.

Yes, it is enough to copy the properties file to the LibreLogo directory of
the LibreOffice installation in unicode-escape Unicode encoding.
LibreOffice beta 2 has already contained the (older) Japanese properties
file, eg. under Linux:

$ head /opt/lodev4.0/share/Scripts/python/LibreLogo/LibreLogo_ja.properties
# turtle graphics

FORWARD=\u524D\u9032|fd
BACKWARD=\u5F8C\u9000|bk
TURNLEFT=\u5DE6|\u5DE6\u306B\u66F2\u304C\u308B|lt
TURNRIGHT=\u53F3|\u53F3\u306B\u66F2\u304C\u308B|rt
PENUP=\u30DA\u30F3\u3092\u3042\u3052\u308B|pu
PENDOWN=\u30DA\u30F3\u3092\u4E0B\u308D\u3059|pd

If you need any help for the conversion or the testing, please, let me know.

I'm also interesting in the possible special Japanese requirements, eg.
optional usage of the fullwidth square brackets.

Thanks and best regards,
László
