I think you are at cross--purposes here. Yes, the questioner can enter English and Japanese text into different parts of a spreadsheet document; indeed, that is how the Excel-formatted documents arrive with him. He needs to add German, and I'm sure he can do this - umlauts and eszetts and all. So the fonts are OK. But what he would like is to keep the *language* settings for English and German applied to different columns - presumably so that the German text doesn't get marked as English misspellings! That works in LibreOffice, but gets lost when resaved into an Excel format.
