Portable international settings

I think it could be great. To have a international system in a USB drive. Install just one font and a capable word processor. Japanese users could work on EVERY computer in Europe and we could read japanese pages in aur Firefox Portable. I'm very interested in japanese support as portable. Is it possible? Sorry for my bad English.

Firefox and Thunderbird

and I think Abiword support Japanese language.
Just use these instructions.

It's not what I mean

I'm sorry, but this is not what I meant. I "need" a way to write and read japanese in a portable mode, to do it in other computers not prepared with the japanese modules like IME.
Is there any portable app that can write and read japanese in european computers (without installing language support locally in windows)? If there is, how I have to configure it?

I know it isn't exactly PortableApps...

Okay, what you can do is run an emulator, like Qemu and use a live Linux distribution like Puppy Linux(www.puppylinux.org/) or DSL(http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/), and then you can browse and even type in Japanese, or any other supprted language.

Hardware
- You will need a computer.
- You will need to have an internet connection to download the Qemu for Windows application, try the one with a GUI so that you won't have to get into the code.
Get qGUI from http://perso.wanadoo.es/comike/ desired .iso (DVD or CD Image). (I use Puppy Linux.
- Obviously, you will need enough space on your USB Device for the .iso (about 90 MB for Puppy or 50 MB for DSL) and preferrable at least 500MB for Puppy or 200MB for DSL to install onto an image file (virtual hard disk).

Software
- Once you have qGUI downloaded and unzippied on your flash device, place the .iso your downloaded into that same directory for simplicity.

Configuration
-Go to your portableApps menu and click Options and Refresh Icons. You should see three new icons. Two will be generic and then one for the qGUI application. Click qGUI and then fill in the appropriate fields. Be sure to save your configuration and have fun.
