65841 2002-07-27 01:07:00 I have tried but failed to get Word XP to translate Eng to Japanese. What steps should I take to achieve this? The on-line translators that I have tried are useless.

Thanks
Phil Burt.

65843 2002-07-27 02:20:00 Basically forget the translators. You would be luckly to even get Jinglish. As for Google - you may or may not get the gist of what you want translated, I doubt it. If it is important find someone that knows the language. I saw somewhere in the media a week or so ago that Japanese is still one of the "IN" school languages. Try the local college to start with, they may have a teacher who will help out. By the way, if you want to translate your imported cars' manual that requires over and above the usual 'school' skills ! Crunn (1068)
