Japanese

This plugin is very useful！ （star*5 ★★★★★）
However, after updating, I can no longer save the label name of the button.
I typed it in English instead of Japanese and it was solved!
But it’s time to finish using it…
I am not good at English. sorry.

Meanwhile in 2021 the plugin could get a new interface … it is hard and confusing to edit there anything.
