Japanese was working more or less a few months ago. I guess vertical typesetting is a little more involved, but as far as horizontal typesetting goes, most of the spacing is coded into the font already (monospacing). When the Latin alphabet enters, as is becoming more and more common, especially in technical literature, the monospacing breaks down, and common practice is to just typeset paragraphs in block form, adding the necessary spacing. Typescripts are already working wonderfully in ConTeXt (thank you!), so for now it should be only a matter of supporting the characters. I don't know what character categories and initializations are, but if I can be of any help, please let me know.
