It’s the case in Japanese, they use full-width parentheses: （）(U+FF08 
U+FF09).

See e.g. right at the top on http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercurial

Also for quote marks they use 「」, but I guess you normally already 
include these as translatable as they also differ in western languages 
that use (e.g. «» in French).
