Cannot input Japanese after upgrade to Catalina

I have resisted upgrading to Catalina because it breaks a number of programs that I use frequently. I found replacements for these and decided to upgrade from Mohave. Everything seems to work fine except for the fact that I cannot input Japanese at all and with Chinese, I can only input the first character on a line. I have the proper languages and inputs set in System Preferences; I tried booting in Safe Mode; I tried deleting the inputs and reselecting them. All to no avail. Any ideas about how to fix this?

You should probably try reinstalling the OS.

Or you could try alternative IM's
