Japanese Translator

Hey, is there a program or something so I can read Japanese sites or should I be cool and learn it myself? I just want to know what I am reading on things like Yahoo Japan and other sites. Thanks!

there are tons.

 

Any one better than the other is what I'm really asking. Any recommendations? Or are they all the same pretty much?

 

I use Google, which isn't great but it's okay. It's identical to Alta Vista Babelfish which uses the same machine translation system.

 

they are all good for a laugh, if nothing else !

 

I've used Google, Altavista, and Excite, and have found Excite by far the best of the lot:

Hey!!!! He's back!!
How you doing man?

 

Cool I'll try a few. I just really wanna look at Yahoo Jp auctions, I notice a lot say Japan buyers only, is that true or am I missing something? I've only bought from S7, ebay, and here for my figs. So I'm a Fresh Meat in this totally. Thanks!

 

also check out rikai.com.

doesn't translate per se but lets you rollover kanji to get the meanings.

they also have a plug-in version that works with Firefox & Thunderbird
