Libreoffice doesn’t allow Japanese character input

I installed Libreoffice via Software Station to GhostBSD 14.1-STABLE. For some reason it does not accept input in Japanese characters (alphanumeric English is fine).

User manual for Backup Station?

Hi, I'm really enjoying my experience with GhostBSD. Thanks for all your hard work.

I noticed today that there's a program called Backup Station in the System menu of GhostBSD. Is there a user manual to find out how to use this? Thanks.
