http://csv.swordofmoonlight.net/SomEx.dll/1.2.2.10.zip is patch for that layer problem. I'm really surprised I didn't run into that problem the entire time I was working on layers. (I won't bore you with the details. Short of it, is the bug is triggered by opening the Maps menu, since that reads in the headers of the MAP files.)
I finally got English language throughout the tools and in the game menus. I honestly found the language tool to be a little confusing given what I had to do to get things set up correctly.

KING'S FIELD Making Tool
World Language & Theme Pack Menu
================================
Step 1.
Press the big wide button below to begin downloading information about English language & theme packages.
Step 2.
Study the packages that should appear in the selection menu on the right just as soon as downloading completes.
Step 3.
There are two kinds of packages at this time indicated by the checklist in the top-right corner. There may be more by the time you are reading this.
Any items unchecked will appear in Japanese. In order to add a package, press the big wide button on the right. However first you may need to download/update it with the big wide button on the bottom.
Step 4.
When you are happy with your selections, press the big X in the top-right corner. Don't worry, if you are unhappy you can choose No.
Additional Instructions
=======================
The two buttons in the bottom-right corner let you add language/theme packs manually, from any location on your local network.
The ZIP button adds compressed packages. The other adds folders that are expected to be uncompressed packages.
To remove a package from your list, just make it blank. You can change the order in the same way. If two packages do the same thing, the package higher up in the list is used.
When I grabbed that quote I noticed the undownloaded menu selections disabled the menu... which apparently is how I designed it, long ago. But that's obviously not good. So I've worked on a fix. That may have contributed to your confusion with the tool.
I also looked at the daylight savings time problem. As near as I can see, the CRT "stat" implementation on Windows (theschap tells me through PM they're a programmer) is a magical beast of some kind, that uses local time and DST to formulate its "time_t" number. I never imagined that. I don't know if POSIX does that... it says it's in UTC time.
I'm always surprised by the funny things people do when faced with software menus, etc. Part of me wants to be sympathetic, but another part of me just sits back amazed and can't really see how to make things easier for these funny people, no offense.
English Text Used By Old Games
==============================
This pack contains a likely incomplete selection of fan translated files that may aid any effort to up-convert older projects to a language neutral format.
Like I said, if you make a game with Japanese as your language package for your tools, then you start out with a Japanese configuration for your project, which is default on SOM because it's Japanese software.
