English keyboards can easily type Japanese. You simply need the IME (Windows); then, typing in Japanese is just a matter of typing in Romaji.
The words are automatically converted to Kanji, or chosen from a list when more than one matches.
Latin based languages (English, German, French, Spanish, etc.) are represented by the combination of a limited set of characters.
Because this set is relatively small, most languages have a one-to-one correspondence of a single character in the set to a given key on a keyboard.
