Hi guys,

For information about configuring Windows to view Japanese fonts, see our tech section article: Yahoo Auctions Japan

Machine translation can be used here too it is my favorite: www.http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en. You can look up each word, sentence or paragraph, or put in a an http URL and it will attempt to translate the whole page.

I got in. The registration link is at top left corner. The three boxes under "Login" are:
- username
- password
- login button
followed by:
- link for lost password
- link to Register

You can look up each word for the registration options, but they are in order:
1. username
2. email address
[ ] release mail address
3. home page
4. Time zone
5. password
6. password (again, to verify)
7. Notify me by email
[ ] yes [ ] ???
8. legal disclaimer
9. [ ] I agree to the above-mentioned item
10. Click button

Then it sends email to you, which must be responded to to complete the account. The email showed up in my Bulk/Junk Mail folder, so watch for it. The encoding of the email message was messed up (just got lots of garbled letters, sunny_coupe110: maybe it is not sending UTF-8 format?), but in any case, just click the link in the message to complete the registration. After this I was able to login.
