Could someone please point me into the right direction?
I tried all sorts of things, nothing has worked so far.
I also tried those "apt-get" and install things I found on Google (to 
install the Japanese input method)
Input method is as it should be, language packs are installed, but I 
cannot switch to Japanese input.

And the last "apt-get install ibus-anthy" operation apparently killed 
the "language setting".
It has disappeared and seach with Dash does not show it anymore.

Where has it gone to?
Why did it disappear?

This is a nightmare. In 12.04 there were no problems at all ...
