Summary20220: In the Japanese translation of the participant table column names, "Last name" and "First name" are reversed.
Description

In English, “First name” corresponds to "名" in Japanese. However, when the interface language is set to Japanese, “First name” is displayed as 姓, and “Last name” as 名, which is reversed.

This causes confusion, especially when using placeholders to expand attributes in email templates or survey questions, since the surname and given name are swapped.

Thanks for reporting this. Could you help by following the steps at https://www.limesurvey.org/manual/Translating_LimeSurvey and simply update the translation file?
Feel free to attached the update .MO file here afterwards.

Thank you for your reply.
I tried creating a .MO file. In some places, the first and last names were assigned correctly, but in several items, they were reversed.
