Hummm....  I thought jyutping was geared towards Cantonese.  When you
say "Taiwanese" do you really mean "Traditional" as in Traditional
Chinese Characters v.s. Simplified Chinese Characters? 

Even on my RHELv4 system with a full scim-1.4.4-2.el4 install I only
have /usr/share/scim/tables/Jyutping.bin installed and SCIM management
classifies it as "Traditional".

I've not had must problem with Japanese or Korean.  Chinese seems to be
a different issue due to the different dialects Cantonese, Mandarin,
Hakka, etc., and the various schemes to Romanize.
