Let's try a bit of english to japanese translation

こんにちは、皆はいかに今日あるか。

This is suppose to mean: Hello, how is everyone today?

I bet it doesn't even come close.

Ha ha, I love online translators! They can be so much fun! When I translate the above back to English I get

"Today, as for everyone how is there today?"

Obviously context is not something the online translation services use!

So long folks!

OK, I can see all the Japanese I wrote in the above post...can anybody else?

フィッツさん、この日本語を見えますか?

How about that?



I can see it fine, can't read it, but I can see it!

Babelfish returns this translation for it: "フィッツ and this Japanese it is visible?"

So long folks!

Welcome to the FSM forums. :)

Yep can see all of the asian characters everyone is posting, but I do have all asian characters sets installed on my machine.

**EDIT**
It looks like the encoding of the site is in UTF-8, therefore if you have the char set installed, you'll see the text

You could if everybody downloaded the fonts. I cut and pasted "Welcome" in my post and it shows up just fine. Completely unreadable by me, but shows up!

I'm running a Japanese OS with Japanese fonts, but I can't type anything here.
Comes out like this:ようこそ!

Here's a cut and paste: ようこそ

Hmmm...in "preview" mode, I can see both of 'em!

Bill, you had written 歓迎, or kangei, which does indeed mean welcome, but when you say "welcome" directly to a person, you say ようこそ!(Youkoso)

 

So, to Fitz, we can say FSMへようこそ!

Sign - Welcome [#welcome] to the forums! Pull up a keyboard and stay a while.

My online translator tells me 歓迎 is Welcome. I'm willing to bet that your English will be MUCH better than my Japanese, which mostly consists of sushi names and motorcycles!

So long folks!
