How to display Japanese characters ?

All what you have to do is to add the Japanese keyboard layout to your system like this :

Click on the US icon (or UK according to your current keyboard layout) from the taskbar

It looks something like this :  

Then, click on Parameters > Add and select the Japanese.

Second: Use this Microsoft tool called AppLocale.

While installing select the “Launch Application” option and give the software path.
