Description
Adds a Japanese translation of the project README as
README.ja.md.Spec Kit already has a Simplified Chinese translation (#3740) but no Japanese one, so this follows the same pattern.
New file
README.ja.md— a full Japanese translation.README.md— added日本語(japanese)to the language switcher under the badges.README.zh-CN.md— added日本語(japanese)to its language switcher as well.All code blocks, CLI commands, slash-command names, badges, image paths, and link URLs are unchanged — only prose and inline shell comments were translated.
Testing
This is a documentation-only change with no impact on CLI behavior or slash commands, so the checkboxes below don't apply.
uv run specify --help— N/A (docs-only change)uv sync && uv run pytest— N/A (docs-only change)Manual verification performed instead:
AI Disclosure
I used Claude Code to produce an initial draft translation, then reviewed and corrected it myself as a native Japanese speaker — rewriting phrasing to read naturally rather than as a literal machine translation, and checking terminology and links against the English source section by section.
Note
If documentation/translation contributions like this aren't something the project wants to take on right now, please feel free to close this — no hard feelings, and thanks for all the work maintaining Spec Kit!
