When I installed CentOS, I was careful to install Japanese language support.
However, now that CentOS is running, I can't seem to get Japanese language input going. I clicked on the top menu bar to add the "Input Method Switcher", and now there is a little white square on the top panel. If I click on it, gives me the option of using ASCII input, or to "Add or Remove".
If I click on "Add or Remove", I get an "Add or Remove Languages" dialoge box, which is empty. There are no languages to add to the list of selections, and nothing in the area marked "Languages shown in menu" either. There are also no options to install languages.
I went to Applications | System Settings | Add/Remove Applications to look for language settings, but they weren't there.
How do I get my Japanese language input up and running?

I confirmed the problem that you discovered it, too. It seems that a setup isn't reflected certainly. If it is usual, it is supposed to be indicated with "Ja" in the panel.
I couldn't solve it though I tried various methods, either. So, another method is proposed to you.
Do you try to make the standard language of the system Japanese?
Applications | System Settings | Language
Then, you choose "Japanese", and log in again. Japanese input and output work normally though all the menus are made Japanese, too.
But, a panel doesn't seem to work as to this condition. I noticed. The version of Gnome Inpute Method Switcher is 1.1.3 with Fedora Core 4 which I usually use. That of CentOS 4.1 was 1.1.2. There may somewhat be a bug or a problem in that.
