It supports Japanese quite well. Just use the Language Register utility, and
this activates a whole range of Japanese proofing tools and input features
(like vertical text).

Chinese is more problematic, but apparently doable. Visit Yale's

http://www.yale.edu/chinesemac/

Chinese Mac Home. Here you will find advice mostly for Chinese, but there
are related connections for Japanese and Korean--and enabling the Japanese
proofing tools in Office vX is required to get Chinese to work after a
fashion.

I understand the next upgrade for Office will be unicode compliant, which
should alleviate problems with Chinese and Korean.
