Sorry about the link on the website - I don't have access to fix that,
however:

1) The manual should be included in the Denemo package use fn1 key to
start it in your default browser.

2) There is a PDF of the latest manual linked to from the Downloads
page
http://www.denemo.org/downloads-page/
the link is
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=denemo.git;a=blob_plain;f=docs/denemomanual.pdf;hb=HEAD

that includes updates for the forthcoming release.

It depends where you installed Denemo, but I believe the file to delete
is ja/LC_MESSAGES/denemo.mo, on my machine it is at

/usr/local/share/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/denemo.mo

If you were sharing your access to denemo with other users who wanted
to keep the Japanese translation then you would need to do it properly:
that would mean prefixing your invocation of denemo with a setting of
the environment variable that controls the language locale. I don't
have all the details in my head - something like 
export LANGUAGE=en && denemo
- but Linux groups would be happy to help (*).

in the source code the Japanese translation is in the directory po and
can be deleted from there.

Please ask again if there are still problems

I just tried

export LANGUAGE=ja && denemo

and Denemo started in Japanese, so I think 

export LANGUAGE=en && denemo

should work fine...
