gloria Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 There are translators that can translate from Kanji to English and back. Does anyone know an easy way to translate from hiragana and katakana to English and back? I do not speak or write Japanese but I can sometimes understand it when it's written. This would be an easy way to communicate with my father. I have searched the web, Mac's widgets, and more. Is there a free program I can get or a website I can use? Thank you.

trav1085 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I do not speak or write Japanese but I can sometimes understand it when it's written. If you can kinda understand it you want the kanji/kana in romaji? If I understand correctly you can't read kana/kanji but understand some romaji, correct? http://j-talk.com/nihongo/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45882-translation-without-kanji-characters/#findComment-437084 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool_jack Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 if you use firefox or other mozilla derivatives, you might want to try rikaichan or peraperakun addon. it shows you the furigana of the kanji and its meaning when you hover your mouse on it. rikaichan https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2471 peraperakun https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3343 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45882-translation-without-kanji-characters/#findComment-986108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
