Though I don't have detailed knowledge of of XIM... Of course, uim-xim
will be able to use with non-Japanese languages, if we resolved some
problems. But, it's not only encoding issue. E.G. we must know how to
draw non-Japanese preedit strings. (Note, I'm not detailed. I may be
wrong, we may draw non-Japanese preedit strings as same way as
Japanese.)

To be frank, I don't want to get imvolved with XIM any more... But, if
we receive such demands more, we will investigate and correspond to the
demands.
