Translating English to Chinese, Japanese, etc.

[MJN SEIFER]

Are there any websites that will translate English to a language like Chinese, Japanese, or anything that has a different alphabet or way of writing and keep it in English letters.

For example when I put an English word in and ask any site to translate to, say, Chinese, it gives me the English word in Chinese letters and I Don't want that! I want the forgien word in English writing so I can read it.

Try this:
Chinese-English Dictionary (http://www.mandarintools.com/worddict.html)

the romanized chinese seems to be called Pinyin, if that helps your efforts!

Renmiri, I can't access yours, thanks though.

But, as for Rubah, yours does work and it is the sort of thing I want.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Usual online translation is bad. It's waaaay worse with Japanese because of the vast differences between Japanese and English. If you have Livejournal you can go on linguaphiles or translators and kindly ask them to do it for you, you'd get far better results.

Online Translations are terrible for japanese.


You'd be better off spending some time learning Katakana and translating it from there.

Wait, is this translation or transliteration? Transliteration isn't too hard, but a translator will probably do it wrong anyway.
