Japanese/Chinese input in Linux is pretty spotty, but possible. With the Japanese government recently investing about 1 billion en in linux, as well as Chinese interest, this may improve. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20030205/ap_wo_en_bu/as_tec_japan_linux_1 To answer you question, if you have japanese as your default language, and the right input servers are started, then all you should need to do is press Ctrl-Space. This should capture your key strokes and ask the application to play nice. :( The only apps I know for sure can handle this is mozilla, and Gnome's gedit. ( I dont write much japanese ). If you are asking about automatically changing keyboard maps, I know KDE and Gnome have switching applets, but I have never used them.
