eh it only really works well with true-ish japanese names.

Yup you would only been able to get a reply if you had a japan fancy name you wanna have (example.sasuke , ryosuke , kyo , inuyashi and etc) Otherwise it won work out, that was part of the reason why it was an authentic site..because its system only adopt recognised japan language pronounciation that's why it never goes wrong during the translation process

I writed SAKANA and they give me this: サカナ I mean why in katakana ? It should be:



Anyways.. i prefer babel fish.

Hmm..i don know why it turned out what you say But You try type naruto it would give you ナルト which should be correct since anime wrote this under the title NARUTO

[MwyC]

its katakana btw
not romaji

[???]

This thing only convert Romajin to Katakana.
That means it only works for words such as TV, Radio, Amerika, Kanada...ect

So your Kung-Fu is no good.

[Oblivious]

Shouldn't romanji be japanese written in english letters?

Its translate from Eng-->Jap Format..& I swore that they translated Naruto right..it was ナルト And the Anime used ナルト to write Naruto In japanese..but now i am pretty confused whether its Romanji, Katakana or Hiragana or Kanji

[Thany]

If your name contains a 'l', just try to change it into a 'r' because the 'l' doesn't exist in Japanese (though the 'r' is pronounced 'l').

ひらがな - Hiragana
カタカナ- Katakana
漢字 - Kanji
romanji/romaji - The whole idea is "roman characters."

Anyway, all this stupid site does is convert roman character strings to katakana strings. EASY to do.. Hell, I could write a script to do it now, 'cept I have homework to do.

And using Japanese ain't cool, kids.

I only use the romaji because I can't remember the Pinyin, or I'm refering to a character that's used both in Japanese AND Chinese. There are more Japanese speakers in acentral than there are Chinese ones, after all.
Ya communist.

Edit: Oh yeah, I was threatened with bans if I swear again...

[Reaver4k]

Hmmm... Damn this keeps getting Errors....

If you names end with a D, or somthing like that, Make shure to buy a Vowel after it.

[音楽は死んだ]

Babblefish worked fine for my name, lol

[seanny]

excuse me !
I'm not Japanese , this's the 1st time I've been to a Japanese forum like this , and I really interesting in what you've done and said in here ! Can you explain something about Romanji for me !??? It seems quiet strange to me !

[Lord Raiden]

Awe heck. That thing doesn't work worth poop. I put my name in there and it said that it couldn't convert it because there were problem letters and the problem letters were my WHOLE NAME!

oh well. If someone does find one that would convert names to kanji regardless of what language they come from, that'd rock.

[AndrewLB]

Bloody...

Okay, look. It ONLY works to convert English character strings into Japanese katakana character strings.
I'll explain it in such a way that you morons can understand.

Japanese syllables are best described as this:
Consonant Vowel (potential consonant). Also, you can have a vowel by itself.
Japanese phonetic characters are arranged to represent this. With one character being a two sound cluster, consonant and vowel. Some characters are only vowels, one character represents a repeated consonant in the initial position, and another character represents the nasal "n" sound.

So here is a Japanese name.

Haruko.

We see six characters, yes? Okay, now, in Japanese it would be three characters, essentially (ha) (ru) (ko).

You cannot translate a name such as this: Andrew.

Andrew would be (a) (n) d (re) w

MY GOD! TWO CHARACTERS THAT ARE LEFT OUT!
IT DOESN"T WORK!
SODI:SODKGJS:DLKGJSDG

See folks, this doesn't ranslate names.
It has ONE function, and ONE function only:
to convert strings of roman characters that are ALREADY formatted to the Japanese syllabic structure into the Japanese katakana phonetic characters.

It can NOT translate names. The person who made this thread is an idiot in EVERY sense of the word. The only reason why anything came of it was that he input a word that was already structured for the Japanese langague! That's right!

(Na) (Ru) (To)! OMG! OMG!

NOW do you morons understand?

[Dhomochevsky]

It gave out ロシペン but theres a "k" missing after the first "letter"
