How to write Chinese and Japanese in the one report

Question

everyone.

It is the 3rd. question about 'platex' or Japanese.

Question: In one paper or report, I need to write Chinese and Japanese.

 Can I use the \usepackage{CJK}, or what kind of command I should use or write?  

Thanks.

Answer 1

Japanese pLaTeX is incompatible with CJK package, so you can't use CJK package on pLaTeX. Actually it throws no error, but the output from pLaTeX + CJK will be almost always broken (e.g. Commands for changing font-size does not work at all, and Chinese characters are printed in Japanese fonts).

pLaTeX is most suitable for Japanese-only documents. If you need multi-language support, you may choose pdfLaTeX + CJKutf8 package. (This is a little old solution, but seems commonly used.)

%#! pdflatex test.tex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{CJKutf8}
\begin{document}

\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{min}
こんにちは、日本。
\end{CJK}

\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{gbsn}
汉字
\end{CJK}
\end{document}

\end{document}
