Cross Translation::Batch translation of various translation sites and translation services

I do not really recommend a translator for translating big sentences, but just words you can't find in the dictionary or small colloquial phrases. Otherwise, you will get very butchered Japanese.

Online translators don't work. But, like Harold said, word by word dictionaries can help.

In this one you can put in whole sentences and it will give you definitions for each word.
