I'm trying to make a Japanese/Romanji character translator for the International Content Building thing, but I found out that scripts don't support japanese characters at all :( I can copy-paste Katakana and Hiragana to and from chat, but I can't do that with scripts, notecards, objects' names and objects' descriptions... It'd be nice to be able to do so, though.

Right. You want Prop 235. It has 4 votes so far (including mine). Perhaps the new internationalization efforts will help scoot it along... Then again, the Mac version has now lost the ability to input Chinese in chat (though I can still type hirigana), so I don't know how well LL is likely to handle this even if all the Havok 2 votes were to be suddenly transferred to it.

I have been able to paste Kanji characters in chat on my Mac client ;)

As for the whole proposal/vote thing, it seems LL is completely ignoring it :(
