You should be able to just set the LC_CTYPE to Japanese in your bashrc, and most things will work. Note that you must have generated the correct locale using locale.gen. I use ja_JP.EUC-JP, which is fairly standard. With this, and the correct set up for XWindows and kinput2 I can enter Japanese in Mozilla, Galeon, gjiten, kterm, ebview, ... I will append the relevant bits of my .bashrc, .bash_profile and .Xresources. Note also that if you are starting something from a launcher then you may have to set the environment in the launcher as well: for example I start the dictionary viewer ebview with: 'env LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.EUC-JP /usr/bin/ebview' I leave everything else as just 'C', which means that all my messages and so forth are in English. > Please note that Japanese-inputing servers for X Window System > requires that they are invoked in Japanese locale.
