I'm trying to install Korean, Japanese, and International System
into a single System Folder.

My goal is to leave all menu, alert etc. in English while being
able to use several foreign scripts. The Installer in each
disk just replaces the previously installed System, so I can't
use this.

Is it okay to just copy KanjiTalk file, HangulTalk file, and
some other INIT/CDEV files into the system folder created using
International System, or do Japanese, Korean (or any other
non-alphabet language) Systems have special patch resources that
need to be installed into the System file, in addition to
itlx,KCHR,fonts etc. resources?

If mixing several scrips is possible, are they compatible with
each other at all?

I believe most alphabet-using languages (e.g. Spanish) don't need
special script drivers a la INIT/CDEV, so I guess just copying
itlx, etc. resources would work. Is this true?
