All of the SL-Cxxx/x Zaurus models have Japanese interfaces by default. The method for switching the menus and such on the SL-C3200 to English should be the same as any of the others; just do a search on these forums for more info. Basically it involves modifying a bunch of text-based settings files; there's even a script that will do it for you.

Qtopia is by default, english.

To untranslate the japanese roms, install a qpe-language program to switch to english.
such as this:
