No, i'm talking about the ellipsis issue we're discussing here. To be
more precise, about the possibility to get "western" ellipsis instead of
a Japanese one in English interface of a program.

Some, but not much, information on this topic can be found here:

However, even in theory it's quite interesting. I wonder if it's
possible to tell screen readers, for example, that the application
running on e.g. German windows has an interface in English. Is it
possible at all?
