HI everyone,
We're on the way to have another major language supported by
Abi :-)
See below.
Cheers
Martin.
PS. Now we just need to get a Korean Hacker to help us out.

Hello Martin,
Thank you for your information about Abiword.

Yes, I have interest to be able to use Abiword on Japanese environment.
I'm sorry to miss to inform you it the late.
I have been dissected Abiword source codes from version 0.7.11,
but I can not have any times to do it currently so that I am working in TurboLinux Japan,
just I am building next product.
So I made the patches for display the Japanese menu in
abi-0.7.11/src/wp/ap/xp/ap_Menu_LabelSet_Languages.h
and
abi-0.7.11/src/wp/ap/xp/ap_Menu_LabelSet_ja-JP.h
I attatched it in this mail compressed by gzip.

I know to be able to use on Chinese environment because a developer in
TurboLinux China use Abiword.
And thank you for your consideration for Japanese.
> Most of the hard work of supporting CJK languages has been done already so

As my knows, it is able to be used Abiword of CLE version by Japanse
such like used mecanism as Chinese; %{prefix}/AbiSuite/fonts/zh-CN/fonts.dir.
But it is not able to input Japanese on it.
> If you are interested please let me know how we can help you.
OK.
I will try to use and find the source code on the latest release of Abiword.
If I have any question, I will send mail to you.
Best regards.
Thank you.
