The Amazon API returns an XML response which contains error messages

translates the error message!

Could you, when you get an error message, resubmit the request in the standard locale so you get the messages in English? Or is the 'locale' set by the url -- amazon.com versus amazon.co.jp?

After you parse, are you trying to formulate a substitute message in Japanese?
