Hi Francois,
I think I have used gloss-japanese and gloss-nihongo. Both don't work
"out-of-the-box" because you have to define special fontfamilies. I have tried
to used both files on an otherwise English text. This preamble works:
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,oneside,draft]{memoir}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{bm}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc,through}
\usepackage{3dplot}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\title{Survey of definitions of diffusion coefficients for nuclear reactor
applications}
\author{W.F.G. van Rooijen}
\date{\today}

\XeTeXlinebreaklocale "ja"
\XeTeXlinebreakskip=0em plus 0.1em minus 0.01em
\setdefaultlanguage{nihongo}
\newfontfamily\nihongofont{Kozuka Mincho Pro-VI}
\newfontfamily\japanesefont{Kozuka Mincho Pro-VI}
Surprisingly enough, setting the language to japanese results in a more
Japanese document than setting nihongo. With "japanese", equation numbering is
done in kanji, for instance.
The genzi-package states that it is specifically intended to put short bits of
Japanese into an otherwise non-Japanese text. Could you contact the maintainers
of gloss-japanese and gloss-nihongo? Maybe they are willing to submit the files
for official inclusion. If not, I can ask one of my Japanese friends who uses
latex whether he'd be willing to be the maintainer.
Cheerio,
Wilfred
