    My keyboard in conjunction with the operating system (US English 
keyboard on a Windows XP system) allows me to type characters from any 
language. I haven't learned how to type these all quickly but I can get 
through a session of testing Japanese input by myself. Its a matter of 
turning on different keyboard layouts through the "Text Services and 
Input Languages" control panel. Then there are small windows called 
Input Method Editors that provide a mapping from your input to the 
target language. Other platforms provide similar services.
