When you come to Japan, this translation tool will be very useful!

This translation tool is very useful in Japan!

I would like to introduce a translation service that I would recommend to foreigners who are visiting or planning to visit Japan.

Better Than Google Translate “Mirai Translate”

I think I’ve used Google Translate before, but sentences are translated in a strange way. Somehow I understand, but not. That’s the impression.

You can actually translate with the “Try Translation” at Mirai Translate. It’s not 100% accurate, of course, but it’s flexible enough to translate natural sentences.

“Try Translation” supports 4 languages: Japanese, English, Chinese and Korean.

How to use “Try Translation”

Using “Try Translation” is very easy.

Mirai Translate "Try Translation" screen. — Mirai Translate “Try Translation” screen.

【1】Go to Mirai Translate “Try Translation”.

【2】Select the language you want to translate (Original text) and the language you want to display in the translation results (translation).

【3】Enter the text you want to translate in the text entry field and press the “Translation” button.

It is also compatible with smart phone, and I am glad that I can use it without registering anything such as email address.

Free app for more languages

When you want to translate, you can use a smartphone app.
I recommend “Hanashi to Translate” provided by DoCoMo.

The previously mentioned “Try Translation” is fine, but “Hanashi to Translate” supports many languages, including English, Chinese, Korean, French, Portuguese, German, Italian, Spanish, Thai, Indonesian, Russian, and Vietnamese.
