I had a similar situation with Japanese in-laws. Fortunately, I'm
using GNOME, which has localisation for Japanese. I had to tweak their
~/.dmrc and add/alter:
Language=ja_JP.UTF-8
Once they got past the English gdm login, they were presented with a
Japanese lanaguage desktop.
The ports which I had to install were:
www/firefox35
www/firefox35-i18n
mail/thunderbird
mail/thunderbird-i18n
japanese/scim-anthy
I'm guessing that you'll have to do something similar for Korean,
adding to ~/.dmrc:
Language=ko-KR.UTF-8
and installing korean/scim-hangul; as well as firefox and thunderbird
and their internationalisation support.
Cheers.
