Even if it's just about three sentences, I still thank you for this. Due credit will be given.

Wow, thanks for all your help. I knew it was shuuchaku, but I'm not that good with romaji, lol.

I have one more question if anybody could help me.

What does "konase" mean? As in kaisuu konase. I know it has something to do with frequency, as kaisuu means frequency, not sure what verb konase stems from.

Also, this word in particular:

Dai 1 shibou o okkochite haita gakkou.

I'm not really good with understanding slang. Does that mean like she failed to get in? Like slang for "ochite"?

こ - なす

mill (grain) into powder

The verb means you do somethig again and again so that you can digest it to the full extent.

Yes. Okkochiru is a derivative form of ochiru in standard Japanese, often used by those from eastern districts. It is not really a slang in modern sense; rather, I think it belongs to the Tokyo dialect. Other examples of Tokyo dialect:

乗る noru (ride) -> 乗っかる nokkaru
追う ou (chase) -> 追っかける okkakeru

Please take a crack at it! Thanks!
Spoiler for translation:


It is translatable, though the writer's statements are so vague and excited that I also hardly see what he wants to convey the most. It's not because he has a xenophobic personality , but just because he is not skilled in writing.

If that's the case, then I'm probably going to run into a little bit of trouble when I'm in Tokyo (though I'm sure I'll be fine in the stores). I'm not used to dialects, though I can distinguish between a select few.

Can anyone tell me what the top left kanji is? I don't have a bigger size, but the context is given if it helps. Thanks.

You do not have to learn the dialect, similarly as you would have few trouble in living in London without fluency in Cockney.
Today most people in Tokyo do not speak pure Tokyo dialect though some fragments remain in their parole.

It is .
The sentence says 言葉が難しすぎたか [kotoba ga muzukashi-sugi-ta ka], or "were the words too difficult for you?".

X.X

...
umm
You may wanna help us out by copying/pasting the section you want...
or at least describing which parts you want, cause i see kanji and kana eeeeverywhere, (including the comment page, the polls, the titles)

I'm personally tempted to toss it into a website that translates and gives definitions of words for you, since it's so much :\

But that's just me, some of the others here can probably have an easier time translating and romanising the entire thing...

It is surprising for me to have found no programme to romanise Japanese texts on the web. Has nobody created one yet, or is it that my searching method was simply poor?

So I tried:
http://wordswords.net/tmp/roman/

It can convert only kanas (in ISO way), and it doesn't know how to split words. I will improve these points some day. But you can help yourself partly with it.

EDIT:
I made automatically the romanisation you requested as below. Possibly its accuracy can be worse than hand-made one, but if you like, take it.

Spoiler for romanisation:

LiberLibri,

I wish to thank you for the help you've given me. I'd like your personal take on the effectiveness and efficiency of Google's Translation Tools service in translating Japanese.

Thanks!

Can someone help me translate this manga page? It might seem very long but I would really appreciate it. I'm putting it in a spoiler tag because of the size and it is a potential spoiler for those who know the series(I'm not going to name it though)

Spoiler for image:


Thanks in advance.
