Would this be corretct?
As I understand it, in Japan, no. Of course that assumes the author is fluent in English, which may not be the case. It has been my experience that no English documents (excluding the constitution of Japan) have any legal status. Would your country (if it has one official language) accept documents written in another language, without a government certified translation ? Mine does not.
