My Japanese is sketchy to say the least, and I'm trying to work through the documentation for a piece of software that I have to use (http://www.seasar.org/)

There's no english translation for the module that I have to use, running it through babelfish provides...well...a babelfish translation, and I can read Japanese at about 3 words per minute. Good practice, sure, but hardly productive (and I understand maybe a quarter of what I read).

So yeah. Please...anyone...ahh...

I'm sure amongst all of us here we can try to give you some semblance of an English translation or at least romanization. @__@ which part do you need? or all of it?

Hey, nevermind, they just posted an english translation of the manual. Woohoo.

For anyone who's interested, the product that we're using is called seasar. http://www.seasar.org/

Well, nice that you're problem is solved I guess... but for future reference, we speak Japanese ALL the time on the IRC channel. *cough*
