This article explains how to show Japanese characters on your screen, and discusses Translating:

Yahoo Auctions Japan

go to www.altavista.com and click on translate

or I think you can do it thought google as well if you click on one of the menus but I cant remember which one off hand

go to google and type in "free online language translator" and you will get a whole heap of sites. Go to one of those. Usually they have a spot for translating a scentence or something and another one where you can put a website in and it will translate it for you...

try:
http://www.worldlingo.com/products_se ... orldlingo_translator.html

or

http://world.altavista.com/

they work okay.

thanks guys ,
