japanese language support for OO in Edubuntu 7.04?

[john]

Hi All,

We have a Japanese language class here at the school and teachers
would like to use OO to do basic assignments in Japanese. Can anyone
give me a step by step or pointers to getting and IME and Japanese
language support for OO working. The teacher feels like a full
Japanese language desktop is too much so this is a request centered
around OO.

Thanks!

John
