At least with SuSE 9.1, what I've found works well is to set it up in 
Japanese when the OS is installed the first time, and then just change 
the language settings for users who want English menus.  Um... I'm not 
sure if those users are able to input Japanese while the language 
settings are set to English or not - but in any case it's easy to switch 
back and forth.
