Hi Loic

Sorry, this problem still exists in a fresh install of Herd CD 5.

Steps taken:
After installation, under System Settings -> Regional and Language, install New Language"Japanese"
Add Japanese to "Languages"
(adept batch completes successfully)
Set keyboard to Japanese and logout
Login and setup Scim to use Japanese
Logout and relogin
Fire up Kate and Openoffice.
Try to switch to Japanese input... unfortunately I cannot switch.

I dont know if this is any help, but I played around with scim for a while, and found out that using the command "sudo im-switch -z en_US -s scim", Japanese input becomes possible.
