gnome 2 itself and its applications should be able to display chinese,
japanese, etc properly if the text in utf8 encoding. As for vim, I
think starting from vim 6, the encoding matter is mature, and should be
able to handle japanese in utf8. Of course, you need a terminal that
can display those characters too. You can also use gedit from gnome to
type japanese too.
As for locale, well, I am not too sure either. But I am using
en_US.UTF-8, and I can read chinese. And fyi, there is a new input
platform that you maybe interested at
