Kotoeri is the default IME on OSX for Japanese, it offers, amongst other things, Latin to Kana/Kanji conversion. This is what should happen:
1 Go to settings and add Japanese as a language, ensure that under input sources for kotoeri "Romaji" (i.e. Latin) is selected for typing method (unless you have a Japanese keyboard) 2 Open any program (I tested the Google search box in Firefox and LibreOffice) 3 Top right of screen, change the UK/US/whatever flag to Japanese (will show a Hiragana あ) 4 Start typing. It should convert Romaji to Kana/Kanji automatically e.g.. shamisen > 三味線 sushi > すし (for testing just pick any Japanese terms off wikipedia if you don't read Japanese)
In the staging version (http://download.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.8/osx/staging/) of GIMP, the conversion does not work, it simply enters the Romaji i.e. Latin letters.
I have attached 2 screenshots of what should happen and what actually happens in Gimp.
