Right.  It is doable, but for Japanese I don't think anyone wants to
do it, or at least not a ordinal usage, IMO.

Ok, I've checked what I can.  It seems working at least for me.  Let's
patch up the `org-export-dictionary' to see it breaks for others.

Here is a patch to convert all Japanese entries from :utf-8 to :default.
You can apply it with `git am --scissors'.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ox: Convert Japanese translation from utf-8 to default

* lisp/ox.el (org-export-dictionary): Convert all Japanese translation
  from utf-8 to default.

There shouldn't be much need for exporters and users to worry about
the coding system of the final output.  If one wants to export a
"Japanese" document, he should already have the document with Japanese
capable coding system. In that case, Emacs should be able to handle
the coding system conversion form the translation table to the
designated file coding system.

There are two cases which I can think don't work:

  - all words in the document are written in romaji, and one wants
    romaji translations

  - the documents are writ en in a language which does not support
    Japanese character set, ie English or French, and one wants to use
    Japanese for non-content strings, ie TOC.

These cases are too rare that we can ignore for now.
