WARNING IT MAY LEADS TO ADULT LANGUAGES.
animelab - (From another site, this is one of the best since it translate kanji to romanji which will make translation easier)
posted by Mastress Alita who is the master of agth, he/she can hook games that are hard to hook. the links below is quite good if you want to learn about japanese and by doing so you will learn how to translate it.
no need to thanks me but Mastress Alite Since the texts below is written by him/her but do rep me since I spend time to check out for it and in the future I will keep you all posted on translation sites/tools.
I realized that I don't have these sites in my Links, but thought they would be interesting to share.
The first is "Anime Game Test Hooker". You can read about this tool in-depth on this thread of my board. This program lets you extract Japanese text from a game as you play it. You can set the program to automatically copy text to the clipboard, and then with Atlas Japanese Translation Software you can have it automatically translate text from the clipboard, getting instant translations for each dialogue screen. By all means not perfect, but still an extremely highly recommended tool to learn a bit more about the stories in games.
There is another Japanese text extractor, "Oh! Text Hooker", which can be found here. However, I recommend "Anime Games Text Hooker" because it is much more compatible with a wider range of games than "Oh! Text Hooker".
The second is JWPce, a free Japanese Word Processor, which can be found here. This program is the God of Kanji for me. Usually I will extract a Japanese script using Oh! Text Hooker, and then put it into this program and save it, or run it while I'm using Anime Game Text Hooker, copy Japanese sentences into it, and use it's powerful kanji look-up to help me understand lines that get botched up pretty bad from Atlas.
You can highlight a kanji and hit F6 to have it look up what the kanji is, or right-click any Japanese character and do "Get Info" to find out what it is (a "ka", a "te", ect.) Using this combined with AGTH+Atlas, I find it is a very handy tool. It is also great for simply saving Japanese text or doing Japanese word processing. Often Japanese text you are trying to use in another program that gets turned into jibberish will work if you copy it to JWPce first, and then copy it again and paste to that other program, as well.
And then there are online resources for Japanese. Here are some handy Japanese <--> English webpages that I use:
Excite Japanese <-->English Translator ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) - Translates full websites or just blocks of input text from Japanese to English or English to Japanese. The Japanese translation software "Atlas" uses the same translation programming as Excite.
Google's Translator ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) - A new web translator from Google. It currently has Japanese <--> English Beta, and works pretty well.
Alta Vista's Babelfish Translator ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) - Online translator for tons of languages, including Japanese <--> English.
POPjisyo.com ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) - A pop-up dictionary for Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. You enter a URL and it will highlight kanji on the page, and then when you mouse over one it will pop-up a dictionary entry. Very helpful with kanji.
Jeffrey's Japanese <--> English Dictionary Server ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) - My favorite quick look-up online Japanese <--> English dictionary. Enter a Japanese word in romaji and it looks up the meaning.
Spencer's Japanese <--> English Online Dictionary ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) - An online dictionary that will show results written in Japanese as well as the English meanings. Helpful with kana and kanji.
The Kanji Site ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) - A dictionary that looks up words written in Japanese kana or kanji.
Basics of Japanese ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) - Shows the hiragana and katakana charts, and some kanji.
JLS Japanese Class Web Site ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) - Just a simple page with a hiragana and katakana chart.
Japanese Language @ About.com ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) - A good site for actually learning some Japanese through online lessons and information regarding Japanese culture and the like.
Japanese Language Grammar Notes ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) - Some Japanese grammar information, such as particles and verb conjugation.
Web Japanese ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) - A site with information on learning Japanese. Has kanji worksheets, a photo dictionary, reading practice, and games for practicing kana.
Japanese Slang and Other Powerful Expressions ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) - Great site of slang words and phrases.
Bad Japanese Words ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) - A site with the meanings of Japanese expletives. Face it, it is stuff like this that typically doesn't make it into a dictionary, and you still need to know what they mean.
Japanese Sex Slang ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) - Very helpful if you commonly play adult Japanese games. *coughs*
Japanese Sound Effects and What they Mean ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) - Awesome site for looking up sound effects.
Kansai-Ben Grammar and Kansai-Ben Word List ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) - In the southern part of Japan in the kansai region (such as Osaka), the people use a different Japanese dialect. This is a great page for Kansai-ben grammar and words in Kansai-ben, since they use many different words than traditional Japanese. It will show the word in Kansai-ben, the word in normal Japanese, and the meaning. This is a great resource, since online translators usually can't handle Kansai-ben well at all.
