Hi, is it possible to do as the topic says, display Chinese/Japanese without
getting the Japanese or Chinese version of the OS itself? Because whenever a
file name that's in a language that doesn't use english characters, it gives
me either questions marks, or boxes and it won't allow me to save it.

So is there anything at all, that I could do, to display those languages on
a file name? Thanks.

It depends.

It's possible on NT based operating systems with a Unicode application
and a font that has the required characters.

I don't think so--this article discusses the problems of intermingling
single and double-byte character sets:
