With -c passed to continue on errors, I'm also getting:

error processing line: date_fmt    "%Y年 %b %e日 %A %H:%M:%S %Z"
error processing line: EPERM"操作が許可されていません"
error processing line: EIO" I/O エラー"
error processing line: ECHILD"子プロセスがありません"
error processing line: ESHUTOWN "ソケットシャットダウン後に送信できません"
error processing line: EINPROGRESS"操作が進行中です"
error processing line: ENOKEY"必要なキーが利用できません"
error processing line: ENOTRECOVERABLE"状態が回復できません"

The rest are all missing space between the keyword and open-quote
and/or misspellings of error names.
