----------------------------------- Martin Wed Oct 12, 2005 8:59 pm Is anyone here fluent in written Japanese? ----------------------------------- 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... ----------------------------------- MihaiG Wed Oct 12, 2005 9:35 pm ----------------------------------- phoneticaly written or symbolic.....sybolic about 3 words/min phonetic 15-20.. hai martin-sama. wakarimasu! :roll: ..IMR EADING Shogun so that helps a bit lol :-D... can i be ur second martin-san? :P ----------------------------------- Martin Wed Oct 12, 2005 10:23 pm ----------------------------------- Like, hiragana, katakana and kanji. ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Oct 12, 2005 11:44 pm ----------------------------------- give Brenda a call.

Woohoo. For anyone who's interested, the product that we're using is called seasar. http://www.seasar.org/ ----------------------------------- Mazer Thu Oct 13, 2005 7:18 pm ----------------------------------- 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*
