FEATURES

MINI TUTORIAL

A small section of Japanese text has been included with this demo to show you how the text translation feature operates. A very small subset of the Edict dictionary (called Reference sample) has also been included - this subset contains only 54 words, whilst the full Edict reference dictionary contains over 62,500 words.

To try out the translation function, select Open from the Text menu and open the tute.txt file. Using your knowledge of basic Japanese grammar, follow the hints given at the top of this text file and work through a translation of the text. The content of this sample text is fairly complex, but you can see how easy it is to get an idea of what the text is saying.

Note: You can also select Translation split from the Windows menu to tile the Text dialog and Output list so they don't overlap - this makes the translation process more streamlined.

Hold down the Command key (Left-Alt on the PC) and click a Kanji to get Kanji information to assist with the translation (though, in the demo, this information is very limited).
