utf-translate-cjk-mode & CJK unicode questions

[Miles Bader]

Hi,

CJK utf-8 seems to now work great in emacs if utf-translate-cjk-mode is
turned on, but it's turned off by default.

I understand why it's turned off by default, but perhaps it ought to be
turned on if one enters emacs with something like:

   LANG=ja_JP.utf-8 emacs -q 

If I do that, BTW, I'd expect to get a Japanese language environment,
with some sort of `prefer unicode' setting, but instead I get the
`UTF-8' languange environment, which doesn't seem as useful.  Is that
intended?

Thanks,

-Miles

Right, also the default UTF-8 input method of "rfc1345" does
not seem like the right thing either.  ("rfc1345.el" wasn't
even included in leim-21.3 afaict btw.)  I think for
ja_JP.UTF-8 the default input method should be "Japanese",
and so on, just like for the native encodings language
support.
