Hi,
If your language does not require the use of an input method in daily usage then these strings are not important. However, it is worth thinking about those people who wish to occasionally communicate in, or learn, a different language. E.g. I may sometimes type in Chinese even though my NVDA language is always English.
Yesterday I added any missing translator comments -- there shouldn't be any missing now.

Hi,
Maybe i am mistaken, but if I don't use a cjk language, will i ever see these 
messages?
I think it is safe for translators to leave the messages as they are if their 
language doesnt use any alternative input method.

Jamie/Mick, any clarrifications?
And if the messages dont have translator comments could we please add them?

Thanks,
Mesar

If you have any comments or questions on any of these input methods, feel
free to ask cJK translators.
If you'd like, I'd be happy to post these on the users support mailing list.
Hope this helps.
