[this is where i get teary-eyed]

what about me? 

[end melodramatics]

i am working for a japanese-owned company and am the only one using mandrake here. it 
is one of the reasons why i cannot make my officemates try linux here in the office. 
Japanese language support is pretty much a black art to me right now. i can receive 
email with " alias sy='export LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.eucJP sylpheed;sylpheed &' " but aside 
from that i cant do anything in nihongo. im using an english QWERTY keyboard so it 
would be beneficial if there would be a mandrake how-to to enable me to work in 
english or japanese like in Windows (the reason why i dual-boot here in the office). 
Wine is out of the question.

i found somebody in the sylpheed mailinglist that can write in mandarin while still 
maintaining an english linux installation. he said the principles were the same but he 
was using some chinese-centric applications. 


as far as using japanese while maintaining an english installation (aside from the TWO 
Mandrakes solution)... HELP!

ciao!
