The Mac Dictionary app has Japanese dictionary pre-installed on it. The English pronunciation as provided by the New Oxford American Dictionary is different for the same words for the Japanese dictionary and English dictionary. What could account for this discrepancy?

For the word, 'regular':
Japanese:
réɡjulər

English:
ˈregyələr; ˈreg(ə)lər

I've been pronouncing it as réɡjulər.
