there is no program to do it, and there's no easy way.\nmethod 1) ask a person who reads japanese\nmethod 2) figure out what characters are in the picture and use an online translator like world.altavista.com or other site

First time I went to Japan I really struggled. Hardly anyone speaks english and the street signs are all in Japanese. I was going to a tower which is a landmark there, kind of like a japanese eifel tower. I had gotten a map at the hyatt with the street names in english, who ever made that map didn't bother to put a note on it that the actual signs are in japanese lol. \n\nNeedless to say when I got off the train I was completely lost. Just stood there for a while trying to figure out where to go with noone stopping to help the gaijin. Then one man asked "excuse me can I assist you". He was just getting off work and was headed for the train to go home. This man actually guided me to the place which was over a mile away, delaying his trip home.\n\nWhen we walked he told me that he had worked in Saudi Arabia for a year. He had a lot of difficulty there because of language and racial stereo typing. He told me on that trip he made a vow to help foreigners he saw were in need when he was back in Japan.\n\nIts funny how people react to adversity. One person will be bitter from it and transfer that bitterness on other people in the furture. Another person learns empathy and vows never to make anyone feel the way they felt. Strange world.

I've put it into polite and plain Japanese instead of a literal translation.\n\n#1 Romaji\nXYZ sama\n\nkorede mou 11-kaime no me-ru ni narimasu.\nmoshi watashino me-ru ga nihongo naraba henji wo shitekure masuka?\nEigo dakara henji wo sitekure nai noka dakedemo oshiete kudasai.\nsoretomo tan ni henji wo shitakunai kara nanode shouka?\nmoshi sou nara mou me-ru wo suruno wa yamemasu.\n\n#2 Hiragana\nXYZさま\n\nこれで, もう11かいめのめーるになります。\nもし、わたしのめーるがにほんごならば、\nへんじをしてくれますか？\nえいごだから、へんじをしてくれないのかだけでも、\nおしえてください。\nそれとも、たんにへんじをしたくないからなのでしょうか？\nもしそうなら、もうめーるをするのはやめます。\n\n#3 This is real Japanese. It's easy for Japanese to read.\nXYZ 様\n\nこれで、もう11回目のメールになります。\nもし、私のメールが日本語ならば、返事をしてくれますか？\n英語だから返事をしてくれないのかだけでも教えてください。\nそれとも、単に返事をしたくないからなのでしょうか？\nもしそうなら、もうメールをするのは止めます。

Here's a translation of that scene:\n\nMr. Garrison: Okay, children, I want it quiet! [the class shuts up] Now, we're gonna try this again until we get it right! What is 6 x 3?\n  \nStan: Juuhachi desu ka? ["Isn't it 18?"]\n  \nClass: Juuhachi da nee! ["Eighteen it is!"]\n  \nMr. Garrison: NO, GOD DAMNIT, IT'S 18!\n  \nStan: Juuhachi is 18, Garrison-san.\n  \nMr. Garrison: For the last time, my name is not Garrison-san, all right?! And this is not Hat-san! And you all better start talking in a manner that I can understand!\n  \nCartman: Wuu, Garrison-san sabuchii dana! ["Ooo, Mr. Garrison is such an ***hole!"]\n  \nMr. Garrison: What did he say?!\n  \nStan: He said, "Garrison-san sabuchii da naa!"\n  \nClass: Soo desu nee! ["That's right!"]\n  \nMr. Garrison: Damnit, this is not Japan!!\n  \nCartman: Minata! Kite kite, churi- ["Everyone! Come, come." Farts. The class laughs]\n  \nWendy: Dare ga pu shita no. ["Who farted?"]\n  \nMr. Garrison: Aaaaah! [rushes out of the room amid the kids' laughter]

Um, well, I don't speak fluent Japanese, and I just started learning, so I can't really help. However you can put on the subtitles so you can understand what they're saying. But if you really want to know what they're saying without text on the bottom of the screen, you can go to some Japanese-learning websites such as:\n\nhttp://www.all-about-teaching-english-in-japan.com\n\nThis website's good for learning Japanese grammar. Once you know basic grammar and some words, you'll be watching Inuyasha undubbed in no time!

Appearently you have lyrics to a song called "Put 'Em Up" by an artist named Namie Amuro (a Japanese pop singer). Most of the lyrics are Japanese with some additions of English phrases. This is seen in many Asian groups/singers usually in the pop-industry that pull English into their music almost as if to "Americanize" their song(s). Pop is very popular in America and what a better way to emulate it than to use English phrases.\n\nAs for the translation, it's difficult. What you see in Japanese is "Romanized" Japanese: rather than using Chinese symbols here we have the "Romance" equivalent for non-native speakers/readers of Japanese. In other words, us non-native speakers can now at least take a stab at the pronunciation of the words without having to study the symbols and the sounds that accompany them.\n\nTranslation:\n\nJust one day, suddenly the morning's over\nThe stupid boys cause a disturbance\nLet me see who's over there with club chics\nWherever you look, these snobby Casanovas\nThink it's fun to make a habit of cheating\nThere's nothing like that kind of appearance\nI missed the evidence before\nBut starting now, I think I get it\n\nIf I go somewhere, then I can go out\nI can do things, I can mess around\nWhich one is 'beneath me,' ain't nothing new\nAnything you do, I'll do it better than you\nA flirting love game, fine I can play games\nForgetting your name, I can do the same\nI'm the number one sharpest one\nIt's impossible to deceive a woman's emotions\n\nSecretly bend backward, put 'em up\nMy unintentional, sudden impulse is your fatal wound\nThanks to you, my weaponry is your dilemma\nI can get down, I can get down\nThe rules of dying abroad\nI've exposed your cheating, fool\nIf you got chics then you better put'em up\nYou lose, you were too late\n\nThe instant the phone rings\nIn a confused manner, a secret is revealed\nIn a sweet voice, 'where is she?'\nCould this be my challenger!?\nI'm not just listening in\nI'm using my own judgement\nI get in the car\nThat boy is mine, I believe it\n\n* repeat\n\n** repeat 4x\nSecretly bend backwards, put 'em up\n** repeat\n\nI can't take credit of the translation. Check out the link. I could have never figured it out without help. Enjoy. Salud.

That sentence is incomplete, which makes me hard to translate. The best I can do would be "The way Americans scold seems  ________________________ to Japanese." \nI can't judge what comes in the blank since the sentence you provided is incomplete, but it should be something like "the way americans scold(at children? am not sure) seems too harsh to Japanese (if you scold like that way, ....continues...) "

Well dear, you need to understand some of these ppl are from all over the world.  It wouldn't be easy if you had to type in a question in French or Japanese.  As for questions that makes no sense, i'm sure they opened a few accounts so that they can give their accounts more points for whatever reason.  Maybe you can get some cash out of it?

So far it is in Mandarin and Japanese. It has been entered into the 78th Academy Awards. For whatever reason audience members left the final scene during the Berlin International Film Festival

I believe it is a British dialect called "cockney".  Me and my husband have this same arguement everytime those commercials come on! This is weird, but go to this website, it's the only one I could find with an example in audio (its a story told in cockney, sounds like the gecko!) You have to listen for a minute or so to get to it.

"Watashi wa anata no tameni kôhî o iremashita."\nwatashi wa - I (subject)\nanata no tameni - for you\nkôhî o - coffee (objective)\niremashita - poured ( in japanese make coffee you must translate pour coffee )\n\nTranslatin word by word it looks like this, but  I am afraid that it is not so natural japanese though it is completely correct one.\n\n"kimi ni kôhî o iretayo." or "kôhî iretayo" are more casual conversation style\n\nBut in more natural Japanese :\n"kôhî ga hairimashitayo." - Coffee is served.

The first part is a bit difficult to translate, as it is not really clear Dutch, but there we go (I think the second sentence is an enumeration):\n\nI don´t know about what I can talk. Well, the series, connections with Webster´s family, what that family does or what kind of projects they have, his episode in CSI: Miami, episode 24.\n\nHe didn´t send much.\n\nI would like to call, you know, but it is quite exciting, isn´t it, and if I call, it would have to be at night, because of the time differences and so on, but then still.\n\nI hope this helps, it´s the best I can do. I'm sure it means something to you :-)

Lower your tone (as in, I don't like your tone) AND dig in (as in "go ahead and eat").\nThese of course are the "adjusted" translations, accounting for colloquialisms and cultural context. The literal translations are somemthing else, which would not make any sense to anyone.\nAs the saying goes, "Traduttore traditore."
