Hi,

For language that is different from English-like syntax words ordering,
such as Japanese, we've got strange messages for 
 Entering directory `...'
and
 Leaving directory `...'

It looks like the following for now (in romaji, actually Kana/Kanji)
 Hairimasu Direkutori `...'
 Demasu Direkutori `...'

It is very strange Japanese.  It should be:
 Direkutori `...' ni Hairimasu
 Direkutori `...' kara Demasu

However, current make code doesn't allow us to do such translation.
This problem can be fixed by the attached patch. (make 3.79.1)

Thanks,
UKAI Fumitoshi
