<p>As of version 0.9.17, Tux&nbsp;Paint's "Text" tool can provide
alternative input methods for some languages. For example, when
Tux&nbsp;Paint is running with a Japanese locale, the
right&nbsp;<b>[Alt]</b> can be pressed to change between Latin,
Romanized Hiragana and Katakana modes. This allows native characters to
be entered into the "Text" tool by typing one or more keys on a keyboard
with Latin characters (e.g., a US QWERTY keyboard).</p>
