Thankyou. I was thinking of leaving French out, just for spite, but I've changed my mind.
Still need Japanese if anyone can speak it.

PORTUGUESE - Wouldn't 'Save' be 'Gravar'? Salvar is more to do with saving someone's life, I thought (i.e. Salvacao - Salvation; Gravacao - Recording).
I'd have gone for:
List [
: CARREGUE 'ENTER'
: INSTRUCÇÕES
: GRAVAR
: CARREGAR
: COMEÇAR
: VELOCIDADE
: VOLTAR

I didn't think the Japanese thing through, all I see is boxes, even if I change the character encoding in IE (and Firefox).
Thanks for the Turkish and Portuguese people.

EDIT: you may not have japanese character set installed on your pc Edited by the Author.

Most definitely.
It's not smart to use a half-machine-translated translation, though.

Well because most words are short, they won't be that wrong. But it's your choice

admittedly not always very reliable, but I can't see it messing up on words like those.

Japanese
PRESS ENTER = エンターを押して
INSTRUCTIONS = 説明書
"Save", "Load" and "Start" are most commonly written in katakana in games:
SAVE = セーヴ
LOAD = ロード
START = スタート
"Speed" can also be written in katakana (as above) but if you want to use the kanji you could say 緩急自在 which means to alter the speed of something (I'm guessing that's the correct context for your game.) I think most games would just use the katakana, though.
SPEED = スピード
BACK = 戻る
Edit: If you're still only seeing squares where the Japanese characters should be, make sure you have Japanese fonts installed (duh) and try changing the page character encoding to Japanese in the browser.
Edit 2: If you're copying and pasting those characters into MMF, make sure the String object is set to Japanese encoding, otherwise you'll get the boxes again. Edited by the Author.

Just a warning: things can get a bit crazy when you use internet translators:

: PRESS ENTER : 来光 圧搾器
The "Enter" used here means to enter a new day/month/year, and the "Press" means to compress/squash (from all sides)

This one's OK I think!

This "Save" means "except for". For example, "They ate everything save for a few cookies."

"Load", as in the one a truck would carry.
Originally Posted by 緑葉

"Start", the noun ("the beginning") rather than the verb "to start".
Originally Posted by 緑葉

This implies quick/early ("the car was going at great speed") rather than "the speed of something"

Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. And "Back".
