I speak only English (so even this thread was partially
read with automatic translation by Google), but I thought I might
be able to contribute to this topic.
(also note, I am only online about once a week, so replies may
be slow, especially with holidays coming up)

I discovered the (honkaku) site several years ago. I rarely looked at the
online applets, but instead used the printable .pdf files.
Sometimes the rules in the .pdf files differ slightly from those of the applets
primarily due to the existence of color. At the time I did this, it looked
like an effort was being made to get most of the puzzles into .pdf form.
This was never quite completed, and after a point, new puzzles were
no longer put in .pdf form. (my file dates are from April 2005 through
February 2006)

I ran the descriptions through Google translation, and was able to come
up with interpretations of the rules that allowed me to get unique solutions
to all but about 4 of the puzzle sets that were in .pdf form at that time.
1 needed Japanese vocabulary. 1 needed ability to read Japanese
in the diagram. The other 2 I couldn't figure out the rules in a way that
gave unique solutions.

Since then only a few (maybe 20) have been added in .pdf form, so if
a puzzle exists in .pdf form, I can probably offer some assistance.
Looking at the files where I recorded the translations, this is for about
250 puzzle sets.

Let me know if I can help. (and if possible, send me email directly)
