Google Translate, English → 日本語? :P
@LIAM Use the Google Chrome web browser (the browser will ask if you want it to automatically translate to your preferred language), or http://translate.google.com and click on "Website Translator" at the bottom of the page (like @mog86uk mentioned).
oh okay. thanks guys- I was actually half-joking when I suggested it. However I did go try it out and it was pretty interesting seeing all the posts on this feed page written in Japanese and having Japanese navigation menus.
That "Website Translate" thing isn't what I meant. It looks like that is a tool for website owners to put on their website.
You can go to http://translate.google.com and type just the website address in the textbox, and it will offer to translate this site. This method won't work very well as you won't be able to get past the log in page...
If are using Google Chrome, when viewing this website you could right-click and click "Translate to English". Then next, click the translate icon that appears near the end of the address bar and change the translate option from English to Japanese. This is a pretty tedious thing to keep doing though and has other problems.
A better method is to do one of the following:
・Set Chrome user interface to Japanese (probably not very desireable). Once this is done, the "Translate to English" will have changed to offering to translate to Japanese instead.
・Install the official Google Translate extension and set the default translation language to Japanese. With this installed you can click its icon in Chrome's toolbar to translate any page to Japanese easily.
But obviously, Google Translate sucks at translating accurately, although it's probably better at English→Japanese than Japanese→English. ^^ - Google Translate extension for Chrome:
