Fortunately, I'm using GNOME, which has localisation for Japanese. I had to tweak their ~/.dmrc and add/alter: Language=ja_JP.UTF-8 Once they got past the English gdm login, they were presented with a Japanese lanaguage desktop. The ports which I had to install were: www/firefox35 www/firefox35-i18n mail/thunderbird mail/thunderbird-i18n japanese/scim-anthy I'm guessing that you'll have to do something similar for Korean, adding to ~/.dmrc: Language=ko-KR.UTF-8 and installing korean/scim-hangul; as well as firefox and thunderbird and their internationalisation support.
