I recommend to stop using ISO-8859-2 and switch to using UTF-8 instead. Then it is no problem to use Japanese and Polish at the same time. I.e. you probably want to use locale settings like LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 see also: http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/suse-cjk/locales.html LC_CTYPE is needed to activate Japanese input via XIM.
What about console?
You need "fbiterm" do use Japanese in UTF-8 on the Linux console. See: http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/suse-cjk/text-console.html -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

Thank you very much - it works! I had some problems earlier because in "localisation instruction" is used iso-8859-2, and every with it. Now, I can write in polish and in japanese im my X! Best regards, Marek
Hi, sorry for another question. I try use japanese on console: I installed fbiterm, canna. When I run fbiterm I can't start "canuum -u" canna display message: "Can't open ttyp" and nothing more. I have no idea what I should do, please help. Best regards Marek

It's a permission problem of /dev/ttyp*. Per default the permissions of these devices are set so that a regular user cannot access them. You will see that canuum works as root. If you want to use canuum as regular user, you could make the /dev/ttyp* devices accessible to a regular user by changing the permissions or adding the user to the tty group. But I don't recommend this! Actually I don't recommend to use canuum at all. Canuum is very buggy and it doesn't work with UTF-8 anyway, only EUC-JP. I.e. it will only work in LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.eucJP fbiterm It is not really useful as an input method for fbiterm. Currently the only Japanese input method I can recommend for use in fbiterm is to use Emacs or XEmacs and one of the Japanese input methods they support. For example Canna or Anthy. If you need a shell you can use M-x shell Uim has an input method which can work in screen and you can run screen in fbiterm. This input method is not yet available on SuSE Linux but I'll package it soon. -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。
