I'm in JApan now. That's why I'm interested.

I've put LANG=ja_JP and now I receive
locale not supported by C library
for a program that Takashi Matsuda <matsu@arch.comp.kyutech.ac.jp> gave
me to test my locale. SImilar problem happened with the last X server
and them with Netscape (which didn't start anymore) so I've downgraded
my XWindow. Is this the problem ?
What packages do I need to make it work ?
I remember I was once asked if I want to have Japanese or English
locale, but I don't know which package asked this. As I want to have
almost everything in English and work from time to time in Japanese, I
answered no to that question. I supose I was wrong :(
Concluding: how do I set my system to have all the menus and messages in
English, but have also an easy way to code mixed Japanese/Eglish
programs ? Can I use the latest X or is it still broken ? From unstable
or from frozen ?
For the moment, the rest of the system works good enough: XEmacs, SKK
and j-latex for writting, kterm and edict for the japanese dict. On the
other hand, I was not able make Emacs show the Japanese characters (it
displayed only blanck boxes). Do I need kinput 2 ? What for ?
