Hello Hirose-san,

Welcome to Wine development!
I'm one of Japanese translation contributors of Wine.
About your patch, it looks good at first glance. But, I found  some
(nit-picking) issues on that. Could you read the comments and give us
your feedback?

I'm not sure this change is needed. Please keep it simple.

The Language Team's e-mail address seems not valid, i.e. Jun Kobayashi
is a male Japanese name. Did you get his approval?

I'm not sure about this, too.

Please use a sentence form here, e.g. 「～消去します。」.
Because original text is sentence.

Please translate `Usage' into 「使い方」 to keep consistency with other
translations. For instance, see hostname.rc:30.

Please insert a space character between adopted compound word,
i.e. サイレント モード. This point based on MS's Japanese style guide [1]
at the last line in p.19.

I think 「パス」 is not commonly used in this case.

Same as 「サイレントモード」 case. (compound word)

In my opinion, 「選択」 is not widely used in this situation.
How about to use 「スイッチ」 instead?

Can you remove the last 「。」? As original text doesn't have full-stop
character.

Same as above.

If you would like to contact me, please e-mail to me. Of course, I can
understand Japanese. However,  in wine development, I prefer open
discussion on wine-devel mailing list.
