Nintendo Of Japan

[Lkr]

On the Nintendo Of Japan Website, everything is displayed in Japanese. Is there anything that can translate, such as the Windows XP Language Packs?

Try it out and see for yourself. If that's not effective, use BabelFish at Altavista.com If that's too confusing -- learn Japanese! :D

I don't think language packs translate the text for you. I think they just download the characters of the language or something. I might be wrong, though, I have never download a pack.

I recommend Babel Fish, but that usually never works effectively. Especially on sites that are made up of mostly pictures.

The translation tool didn't work that well. I think It is because of all the pictures.

Try download.com it probably has it.

Under regions and settings on XP, you can add support for japanese chacters, which will make all those ??????? on the pages magically turn into japanese. Unless you can understand it, there's not much it's going to do for you though :P

The problem with translating most japanese websites is that the font sets for web display are really limited, and as a result, most japanese web designers opt to design the majority of the page as a graphic with the text embedded inside so they have more control over how they want it to look, where as westerners use ascii text over a graphic background in contrast. The problem that arises is when you translate a page, the only english you'll see is links like, "home, back, top, next" while the rest of the page is still in japanese :P

Ive tried translating Japanese but then is still very difficult to understand. Still can't get over that "Ruv you" saying.
