Düsseldorf is once again celebrating Japantag today – one of the largest Japanese cultural festivals outside Japan. Thousands of people line the Rhine promenade; the day is crowned in the evening by a Japanese fireworks display. A small impression from the stage with a traditional fan dance is shown above.
Such a lovely occasion calls for a small gesture: as of today, carecom.de also speaks Japanese. Last week's „now speaks four languages" thus becomes „now speaks five".
Technically it was exactly what the four-language expansion had already shown: the architecture built on a generic text record and a source generator makes another language essentially „just one more column". Claude Code added Japanese to the language switcher, translated the XML content of every section, extended the inline prose on each individual page, produced a Japanese variant of every existing blog post – and, in the end, wrote this post in all five languages too.
