We provide language and cultural support for several Asian languages, including Japanese. The large number of characters in the Japanese language makes it impossible to arrange them on a keyboard. Therefore, an input method, called the input server, is used to make sequences of keyboard events that correspond to each kanji character. The input server for WorldView(TM) Japanese is called xwnmo2.  It translates your input of phonetic symbols into the equivalent character or characters and provides a list of choices when there is any ambiguity.
