I've got a user that wants Japanese language support in firefox... our *stock* CentOS firefox, 24.3. I've yum installed i18, and i10, and no joy. Looked at firefox addons, and there's one, 27.0.
Won't install, "not compatible". Neither is either 24.0, or 25.0.
Anyone have a link to a compatible version?

Actually, anyone else here going to LonCon 3?

Well, if there's a few of us there, we can have a CentOS party.... I remember the old days (i.e., the nineties), and @parties.

KB Singh is organising a London based Centos event which might be around that time. If it is, I'll gladly buy you a half-litre of beer.

Be serious. That was the 'fiction' bit of the science fiction :-)

You probably need Japanese fonts. Do they need to be able to input or just read?

Read. Firefox. Akemi's answer worked.
And then she says, but I still can't read it, looking at me innocently.... (My user's Japanese. We both chuckled.

Yes, I saw that after I'd posted. These days, Japanese is fairly trivial in Linux.

More likely, she's forgotten how to write it. :) Various friends and acquaintances have told me that due to constant use of computers or texting, they've forgotten how to write various characters.
(I'm sure that Akemi san is not one of them though.)

Not so sure. When was the last time I wrote kanji using my hand and a pen, I don't remember... :)
