Tom,
in ATLAS.ti 5 East-Asian languages are supported on native Windows systems
and - limited - on non-native Windows versions. You can also see Japanese
text in the margin area.
the following is a post from the ATLAS.ti listserv from a user that has
experience in working with Japanese (as a resonse to a question, wether
ATLAS.ti could be used with Chinese):
I work in Japanese, not Chinese, but from all I've
heard the behavior is the same: It depends on the
language of your operating system. Do you have English
version Windows, or Chinese version Windows?
English Windows with IME? Much functionality.
Chinese Windows? Full functionality.
I run Windows XP, English version. 5.0 lets me work in
Japanese in many areas, but I don't have full
functionality. I can have Japanese codes, I can search
for Japanese objects (codes, quotations), and I can see
Japanese text in the networks. I can't use the "text
search" tool, though, and the Japanese displays in the
object managers, but not in the drop-down lists. Most
of my data and code names and so on are in English or
romanized Japanese, so this less-than-full
functionality hasn't been a problem for me. In fact,
it has been a boon, because it meant I didn't have to
go out and get another laptop!
Good luck,
Blaine
