Did you know that WordPress users in Japan have meetups dedicated just to eating crab in the Fukui prefecture? WP Tavern has has a fantastic article on Community, Translation, and Wapuu: How Japan is Shaping WordPress History. There is so much that is quotable, just check out the entire thing!
We desperately need more support for woocommerce in Japan, almost non existent now in paying gateways.
Hope Automattic acquisition will help with this!
The article Matt shared, Inspired me to write a blogpost about the challenges of WordPress in Japan and connecting the community with the rest of the world. I´m planning to help japanese people move forward with improving wordpress and so the improvement of WooCommerce would also be part of that. You guys could check out my article I wrote about that. I would appreciate your help.
