Knowledge of Japanese does not HURT your chances of getting into JET. Naturally a LOT of the applicants are going to be interested in Japan and are going to have taken Japanese. Hell, half of my interview for JET was IN Japanese.
As a translator I have taken a lot of translation tests. These are tests publishers and translation companies design to test and see if you are really qualified. They tend to be tricky and time-consuming.
At least a half-dozen times I have taken the test and I get a response "Congratulations, you passed our test. You scored XX/100 points, which makes you qualified to translate our materials."
Then I never hear from them again.
It's the same thing as JET hiring.
