xfce-core-ja-20230117_2253.iso -- Default language (locale) is set to "ja_JP" for Japanese and JST.

You can choose whatever locale from Boot Option. Also, to change another locale after system booting, logout a present desktop session. Then, click on the upper right corner on the login screen, and choose a locale from a drop-down list. Simply logout and then login again can change a locale for a desktop session.

** Multilingualization (m17n) support
In order to enable Chinese input, click IME toolbar which appears at the right corner on the bottom. Then select item "Chewing". Now you can start Chinese input by pressing Crtl + Space key.
On the other hand, in order to enable Japanese input, click IME toolbar which appears at the same place. Then select item "Anthy". Now you can start Japanese input by pressing Shift + Space key, or alternatively "半/全 漢字" key if your keyboard is Japanese layout.
To return to previous (direct) mode, just press the same key.
If you need another input method for many other languages, add m17n support by installing uim-m17nlib package as follows:
 # apt install uim-m17nlib

** About Universal Input Method (uim)
Uim is an input method module library which supports various scripts and can act as a front end for a range of input methods, including Anthy, Canna, or SKK (for Japanese), Pinyin (for Chinese), Byeoru (for Korean), and M17n (for many other languages). Most of its functions are implemented in Scheme, so it's very simple and flexible.

If you want to use UimToolbar utilities, which shows and controls uim mode, for system tray, add the following, too.

 $ uim-toolbar-gtk3-systray &
