A workaround that lets you select your preferred languages by
manipulating the list of recently selected language (note that  the
complete list in "other languages" is still empty)

sudo gedit /var/lib/gdm/.gconf/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/%gconf.xml

you will see something like this:

        <entry name="recent-languages" mtime="1255452885" type="list" 
ltype="string">
                <li type="string">
                        <stringvalue>de_DE.UTF-8</stringvalue>
                </li>
        </entry>

just add another list item:

        <entry name="recent-languages" mtime="1255452885" type="list" 
ltype="string">
                <li type="string">
                        <stringvalue>de_DE.UTF-8</stringvalue>
                </li>
                <li type="string">
                        <stringvalue>ja_JP.UTF-8</stringvalue>
                </li>
        </entry>
