[Interest] Qt japanese onscreen keyboard

[Guido Seifert]

A Japanese keyboard is only the smallest part of the problem. An image for such a keyboard
you can find here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_input_methods

The much bigger problem is the kana/kanji conversion. I don't know if there is
a platform independent solution. For Linux:
http://linux.die.net/man/1/cannaserver

I don't think a Japanese keyboard layout without such a server is of any use.
