Description
There is an incorrect sentence at getSeed() of java.security.SecureRandom API 5.0(Japanese)

The last sentence of the getSeed() explanation in http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/ja/docs/ja/api/java/security/SecureRandom.html#getSeed(int)

"...and then call the setSeed method to obtain seed bytes from that object."
                     ^^^^^^^^

However, the sentence in http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/security/SecureRandom.html#getSeed(int)

"...and then call the generateSeed method to obtain seed bytes from that object."
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^
The japanese API document should be changed.

EVALUATION Fixed on java.sun.com.

EVALUATION Confirmed. It seems to be the problem in the translation phase basically. This problem is only in Japanese API docs, not in the English one.
