Can anyone tell me? - 12-31-2007, 03:00 PM

Where to find a good Japanese translation site?
I looked up a few that they were unsatisfactory.
Thank you.

I mostly use this site for translations --> Free Mezzofanti Translations - Free translation of text and websites into Spanish, French, Italian, German, and many other languages!

You don't get the romanji translation though.



may all youя dяεamiиg fill the εmpтy sky.

Nope. It will translate English to Japanese but not Japanese to English. No matter what Japanese is put down it says "Error 157".
Thank you for trying.

Thank you Fara. I have tried that one though. It does not translate it correctly. That was the best one I found so far though.
I appreciate you taking the time.
By the way, I am just beginning to learn to speak Japanese. While I am doing that, I am trying to write to a friend in Japanese. This friend's English is limited though.
Again, I thank you both.

Online translations are really bad. They're hardly accurate >_<

One reason I can make a living as Japanese to English translator is because there are no even half-decent translation sites for JtoE or EtoJ.

Yes I thought that it may be that way. I thought that I may be wrong though. So I asked over here.
