Japanese Language Kit - Description
 
Copyright 1993, Apple Computer, Inc.
 
The Japanese Language Kit contains everything you need to easily add Japanese
to your documents. This Language Kit can be used with your Apple Macintosh
computer to run Japanese applications and include Japanese text in letters,
presentations, and reports.  You can even work with files created using
KanjiTalk, Apple's Japanese version of the Macintosh operating system.
 
Whether you're a desktop publisher or business professional , you can use the
Language Kit to develop Japanese language  materials such as brochures,
posters, business cards, presentations, and restaurant menus.   Students and
teachers can use it to run interactive Japanese language programs, and produce
compelling term papers using Japanese.  While the Japanese Language Kit does
not translate text, it does let you easily input, edit, and print in Japanese
using your current operating system (version 7.1).
 
The Language Kit works as an extension to System 7.1 and allows you to run
Japanese applications.  Because you use your original operating system, there
is no need to keep an additional system on your hard drive.  The Japanese
Language Kit also contains Kotoeri, the same easy-to-use input method that is
included in KanjiTalk 7.
 
Almost every major software program has a version that has been localized for
Japanese.  All you need to run them is the Japanese Language Kit and System
7.1. You can even use non-localized programs, such as Nisus 3.4, that take
advantage of WorldScript, Apple's new software technology.  WorldScript,
introduced with System 7.1, simplifies the way in which multiple languages can
be supported by a single operating system.
 
The Japanese Language Kit comes with two Kanji TrueType fonts, which offer high
quality output from any Macintosh-compatible printer.  Documentation is
provided in both Japanese and English, and you can type using either the Roman
or kana keyboard layout.  These features make it easy to use whether you're a
native speaker or just learning Japanese.
