At users@openoffice.org, I see several European/American, who can't read Japanese, often ask the list how to use Japanese with ooo or how to input Japanese.
It is not a problem with ooo, but it is a problem with their platform, language environment, input method and installed fonts.
CJK solutions here:

If you get these requirements, you can input any language with ooo since ooo has got spadmin.
Now do they know how to type Japanese?
I didn't know how to type Chinese and Korean.
I have just learnt how to type "red" in Chinese and Korean from:
http://www.apac.redhat.com/iiimftest/testing-guide/s1-testcase-object4.html
Four Language Engines (LE) are available:
iiimf-le-inpinyin for Simplified Chinese (zh_CN.UTF-8)
iiimf-le-xcin for Traditional Chinese (zh_TW.UTF-8)
iiimf-le-canna for Japanese (ja_JP.UTF-8)
iiimf-le-hangul for Korean (ko_KR.UTF-8)
Only GNOME (GTK) applications provide direct support for IIIMF.
There is a known issue which we are looking to fix hopefully soon.

"im-sdk cannaLE editting after commit broken"
Intranet/Internet Input Method Framework (IIIMF) is the next generation Input Method Framework set to replace the legacy X Window System Input Method (XIM).

IIIMF seems to work with gedit only on Fedra Core now.
It doesn't work with ooo yet.
