SuSE has made Japanese version at 7.1, but there seems no sign of the
newer version. Would there be any, or can I just upgrade to English?
At least internally we have a 7.3 JP version. We have two sets of CDs for two sets of languages:
International (Supports en, fr, es, nl) International2 (Supports it, hu, cz, jp and basic support for en)
The difference between the German, English (=International) and the International2 version is only the package selection. I.e. the International2 already contains more Japanese packages. But apart from the selection of optional packages, all SuSE Linux 7.3 versions are the same, i.e. you can mix and match packages from any of these version or from the FTP version of SuSE Linux 7.3 which contains all available packages. If you could get ISO images of SuSE Linux 7.3 International2, this might save you some downloads of optional Japanese packages from the FTP version compared to the English version. But unfortunately it looks like the International2 version is sold only in Italy, Hungary, and in the Czech Republic (and of course with manuals in the local languages). But as the English SuSE Linux 7.3 version already contains basic support for Japanese, the best thing you can do is use the English version and add other packages you are interested in from the FTP-version.
Hmm, that won't help you, no idea how we would do that except for with a download...
