Solution (workaround):

msgfmt -o guidance.mo 
kde3-trunk/templates/messages/extragear-utils/guidance.pot

sudo mv /usr/share/locale-langpack/nb/LC_MESSAGES/guidance.mo 
/usr/share/locale-langpack/nb/LC_MESSAGES/guidance.mo-gml

sudo mv kde3-trunk/templates/messages/extragear-utils/guidance.mo 
/usr/share/locale-langpack/nb/LC_MESSAGES/guidance.mo

... replaces the Japanese parts with English, for most Norwegians I 
suppose this is easier understandable :-P
