Something just occurred to me - when I last set up a computer with SuSE 
9.1, I selected Mozilla and there were a lot of component parts - 
including different language packs.  I selected the one for Japanese, 
and it's working fine.  I'm not sure if that's only for the menus (I'm 
not even sure the menus are in Japanese - it's not my own computer - 
I'll have to check how it looks), but in any case, reading and writing 
Japanese is no problem with it.

That said, I've got a folder with a lot of advice from different people 
on how to get a machine I set up in English to work in Japanese... just 
awaiting the time to methodically go through it and sort things out.  In 
the meantime, I still use two different computers for English and 
Japanese.  (I know, I know, a very sloppy way of doing it, but it works 
- thanks to a KVM switch!).
