Only talk in Japanese.

It's not nearly as complex as English, but as usual we find ways to screw it up.

Only talk in Japanese.

Post by Commander Sparx »

Well, this is how you do it:

You do you’re message, and then do it in Japanese below. By using this web site:

よく、これはそれをいかにするかである: メッセージ、次に次にする日本語のそれをする。このウェブサイトの使用によって:

Babelfish and other online translators are notoriously incorrect. Especially in Japanese, they cannot take into account levels of politeness, gender, or common phrases - instead, it's usually translated word by word which ends up making no sense or sounding unnatural.

What you posted is a perfect example. I would rewrite it like this:

Ah, yes... we're masters of the box language.

Actually, you don't have Japanese encoding. Usually you can install it by going to View > Encoding > (More) > Japanese, and it'll take care of the rest by itself.

I'm running late for class or I'd point out how wrong that translation is and correct it.
