For every fatuous US/EU price comparison, there's always some feckless idiot who bangs on about the multiple languages in Europe and the translation costs yada yada yada.
The last time I checked, UK citizens spoke substantially the same language as those in the US, and the character sets in the whole of Europe are within the same ASCII range.
So, on the basis that neither of these is the case in a comparison with US & Japan, the argument is fallacious.
This is particularly galling in Adobe's case, where they charge us for a "European" version, and then insist we install it in "English (US)".
