Well, a very quick reply... I will try to post a howto.
I use Japanese at work, and Mandrake is the most flexible machine I
know. I can create english accounts and Japanese accounts easily
depending whether people prefer their menus in Japanese or in English.
I guess it should work with any language.
Japanese input is not standard, but it is possible with
an english keyboard. I write most of my mail in Japanese every
day. If you want some hints, write to the following address, since
I jave to leave now:
