Im creating the profile for the 'Porco Rosso' release in my country, the end credits are in Japanese.
What is the rule for adding credits to these? (seeing as I have no knowledge for reading this language)
Can they be taken from other profiles of the same movie or would someone who reads the text add it at a later time?

Yes, you are allowed to take them from another profile, but with provisos.
Make sure the profile you're copying from has been properly documented - where they got the cast & crew from etc.
Copy this into your notes when submitting and also say which profile you copied from (the UPC number and locality will be enough).
If there's any uncredited cast, either remove them or again make sure you have documentation specifying where they came from.
And make sure you make it clear why you're copying the data (ie. the end credits are in Japanese).
If you leave it a day or so, maybe another user can recommend a profile to copy from - I don't have this Ghibli title, so can't myself.

Alright, thank you for clearing that up.
I'll guess I will leave for now, I also need to get some documentation for the Norwegian voice cast so I will look into it later.

By the way, is there an easy way of copying over only the cast and crew from another profile or is it easiest to simply download that profile and change the rest of the information to fit the profile I am creating?

What you do is download the profile you want to copy from, go into Edit Profile and if you right-click on the cast or crew, you'll get the option to Copy All. Then simply go into your own profile, right-click the empty area and select Paste All.
