If you're referring to Video Games, I'm not positive on the newer generation of consoles (PS3, Wii, Xbox) I do know that back on the PS2 you had to either get a PS2 console from the area (such as Japan, if you wanted to play a Japanese imported game), or i believe there was a hardware accessory that would allow you to play it on a PS2 from wherever.
On PC it's usually easier, there are often English patches for games, that you can download which allows the game to be played on an English version of your operating system, or I believe you can download a language patch for whatever game it is.
Sorry, I don't feel my answer is very helpful :\

How do you play imported games in a American console?
On the PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS, imported games are almost ALWAYS compatible on ANY system. The XBOX 360 does not allow imported games to be played, no matter the country, only games from the region it is sold. PlayStation 3 is also import friendly, almost entirely. Offically, the Wii supposedly can't play games from other regions, but by using a special disk called Freeloader or using the homebrew channel (this is not endorsed by Nintendo) it is fully possible. Yes: PSP, PS3, DS, (use at your own risk, which is admittedly little to none) Wii No: Xbox 360
