Yes, http://www.math.wisc.edu/~stefanss/japanese The main difference that I found between 8.1 and 8.2 is that if the fonts are not set properly and Japanese is enabled, KDE will crash on startup. For that reason, I used localedrake to set the locale to Japanese [this sets the locale and the fonts for KDE] and then I modified the KDE control center and the ~/.i18n file to my liking. The webpage has detailed directions. Please keep in mind that I did test these instructions by creating a new user account and following the relevant sections in detail. Narfi.
