Is there any plan to release prototype-japanese-N for v1.4.x?

@ManyTheFish
Could you please tell me whether it is possible to search for the following "Prototype to disable Chinese detection and force Meilisearch to always recognize CJ characters as Japanese characters" in the Saas version of Meilisearch Cloud? ?

Hello @tec-koshi,
you should ask the support of the cloud to update your instance to a Japanese-specialized one.
This way it will be easier to retrieve your instance 😄
