Sorry for late reply.  I'm very busy now Xp

tex-jp.el has two Japanese TeX modes (japanese-latex-mode and 
japanese-plain-tex-mode).
It is loaded when the class file is for Japanese (jarticle etc...).

Currently, we missed autoloads for Japanese TeX in tex-site.el.

tex-jp.el provides some commands and variables for Japanese.
Maybe they can be merged into tex.el and latex.el, except
Japanese error message catalogue.

I agree splitting error message catalogue (even I can't find
out your proposition mail using info).

A comment for Japanese info file.  At present, makeinfo does
not support Japanese.  Emacs' info formatter stops (?)
developing.
