Lost In Translation

There comes a point in every point'n'click adventurers' life when being able to translate Japanese into English is essential. Fortunately Mio has found a great on-line translator...

Although it is all in Japanese, it is not difficult to use. You will see 2 big boxes, a list box at the top between them containing 2 items, a button in the middle between them, and a button just below and in the middle of them. From the list box select the 2nd item. This means Japanese to English. (If you wish to translate the other way click the top one). Then click the button at the bottom. This will clear the large boxes. Now copy and paste the phrase into the 1st large box, click the button in the middle and voila, you have your translation.

Also while we're busy translating I've always found the Google translation tools useful, they offer many languages including a Beta version of Japanese translation [subbed by mio].

A great idea, but unfortunately, I am one of those people who just jump on in regardless of the language, and can't be bothered to swap back and forth translating text...too time consuming lol

Besides, it would probably help if I actually had the Japanese language pack installed on my comp...which I don't...so...it's still the old 'question marks' for me then ><

Yeah, I'm sick of the bloody question marks too! I feel like Firefox is letting me down a bit, encoding-wise... It's auto-detection doesn't seem as accurate sometimes, even with Western English charsets on some English sites, and at least IE pops up occasionally to ask if you want to install a new pack. :( Does anyone know how to easily install Shift-JIS or other such encodings on Firefox? I'm at a lost. Email me please :) (trojjer[AT]gmail.com)
