So what is the problem with the current version of the Mac VM not allowing people to input Japanese, Korean, Chinese?

John,
Sure I can return 42 the magic number from LMGetKbdType() meaning you are using as Estonia keyboard, or maybe 78 for Devanagari keyboard in the Indian Language Kit, however it's unlikely I or any other developer will want to code the keyboard to ascii/macroman/unicode whatever translation tables in the image.
And, why is that? That is how it works right now in Squeak 3.8.
If the VM is too clever but not take the Asian language input method into account, I'm afraid that there will be no easy way to get the functionality back. On current Windows and some older versions of Mac VM, people can input Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc. into Squeakland (Squeak 3.8 based). But the last patched version of Unix VM (3.6-3 or such), we needed to disable all the conversions implemented in the VM after all.
