IrfanView is an image viewer for Windows developed by Irfan Skiljan and provided as freeware.

The default language is English, but it can be localized by installing a Japanese file (Japanese.dll).

Unfortunately, it is rare for Japanese files to be posted on the official site simultaneously with the release of the new version of IrfanView, so it is possible to apply the old version of Japanese files for a while after the release of the new version.

Although IrfanView has started as an image viewer, installing a plug-in allows you to add video playback, an archiver function, etc.

At the time of writing this article, a file (Japanese module) to translate IrfanView Version 4.44 into Japanese is not listed on the official site, but it can be obtained from Shibasaki's site.

This article notes the procedure for obtaining and installing a Japanese module compatible with IrfanView 4.44.

When installing the Japanese module of IrfanView, let's execute it with IrfanView closed.

1. Download Japanese module

Afterword

悠 retired

For the author's convenience, development of IrfanView Japanese module seems to be the last in version 4.44. I am indebted until now.

I feel unwilling to continue, but I am retiring Japanese module development of "IrfanView" in this version (4.44).
It was an ugly translation etc. Thank you for your patronage until now.
Development of "IrfanView" will still continue, but I will withdraw a little ahead.

Thank you very much for keeping in contact for over 10 years.
