This is not really a PostScript language question.  The real questions are:
    1)	"Are there bilingual (English/Japanese) word processors?"
	I know of two on the Mac: ByWord and TurboWriter.  You can get 
	more information on them from your local Japanese software import
	shop, or from Qualitas Trading Co., 6907 Norfolk Rd., Berkeley,
	CA  94075; TEL +1-415-848-8080.  There is also a wordprocessor
	on the IBM PC, but I think it is Japanese-only, not bilingual.
    2)	"What machines does that software run on?"
	The Mac.
    3)	"What extra systems software etc. do I need to run that software?"
	You need Mac's System Software v.6.0.2-J, otherwise known as
	KanjiTalk.  You can get that from APDA.  To find out about APDA,
	contact your local Mac user's group.
    4)	"Given that software & system, how can I print to PostScript devices?"
	KanjiTalk includes a LaserWriter driver, with which any Mac can
	print to PostScript devices.  Those devices have the right fonts.

This is not an endorsement of these software packages over others, or of
the Mac over the PC for bilingual word-processing.  I just happen to know
that this combo works.
