Guns don't kill people - people do. Stop blaming guns.
There are rules for using guns. You can't just "sling" them as you wish.
Same goes for using non-local-language cards (ie., Japanese).
Moderation IS an expectation whenever you do something.
Knives, fists, and garden gnomes kill people too. But only if a person uses them to do that. It's the person that makes
anything a weapon.
Yes, and the rules say you can use Japanese cards. The rules don't say you can only use Japanese cards if you have less than 10. It says you can use them, as long as you have a translation. As long as all these conditions are met, then the player is doing nothing wrong by using Japanese cards.
Now, the player may be doing
other things wrong, but that doesn't mean that using a full Japanese deck is wrong. It is important to correctly identify the cause of the problem.

Ditto, the reply to your question is here:
A player playing a 90% Japanese-card deck should have their references arranged in a way to provide quick and easy access to them. If a player has not done so, and/or if the player uses the opportunity to slow the game by continuously checking the references for their own cards (which they should know what they do since it is that players own deck), then that can--and will--lead a judge to consider slow play / ruleslawyering / cheating (as defined in the rules in the quote).
I don't see the words "in moderation" in there either, but using Japanese cards in excess and not being prepared to deal with that excess (such as having all of your references accounted for, arranging your references for quick/easy access, and knowing what all of your cards say/do) means you shouldn't be using Japanese cards and you are using them to an extent which is beyond what the guidelines have allowed.
So why don't you follow the guidelines and give the appropriate penalty?
As I've said before, there are rules laid out for using Japanese cards. As long as those rules are followed, what's the problem? If those rules aren't followed, then there are penalties and they should be assigned.
Basically you are assuming that anyone using Japanese cards is a cheater. This is simply not the case. Some players playing Japanese cards will cheat, and some won't. Each should be dealt with accordingly. Likewise, some players using English cards will cheat, others won't.
The use of Japanese cards versus English cards has nothing to do with whether a player is cheating or not. Again, identify the real problem, not the scapegoat.

This is what enables the player to do it. Reflective sleeves are also not permitted because they allow a player to cheat. The player using reflective sleeves may not intend to cheat, but the possibility is there and so the reflective sleeves have been banned.
So because I can cheat with English cards, those should be banned too? -_-;
