Having just returned to the Macintosh after eight years of using Windows (and TextPad), one of the first applications I installed was TextMate. Twenty minutes later, when I'd piped my first text through markdown.pl and created my first tab-activated snippets, I was already happy to pay the license fee.
However, I then found it wasn't possible to enter Japanese text. The list archives revealed that Kazuo Saito had already raised this issue (http://one.textdrive.com/pipermail/textmate/2004-December/001824.html) and that Allan Odgaard had promised a fix:
I can't give an ETA on when this will be fixed, but I can imagine it's frustrating for those who rely on these input methods, so I'll try not to have “the fix” pending for too long.
I appreciate that perhaps only a tiny minority of TextMate users need to work with Asian languages but was hoping that it might be possible to give an approximate ETA on when this will be fixed. I really don't want to waste time looking for an alternative to TextMate.
Thanks,
Jonathon Delacour

It's really difficult to say. I have a few things that needs to be done before I will go into the input stuff, and these are already taking far longer than predicted. And the fix itself I am not sure either how long will take -- the best I can do is probably to say, don't expect it before at least in 4-6 weeks.
