Here is a selection of some of <strong>the best online translation services for Japanese to English<\/strong>, and their various features for both oral and written use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-google-translate\">Google Translate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/translate.google.com\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">Google Translate<\/a> is one of the most popular translators with some classic translation features. Entering a text in English results in the translation into Japanese with the three writing systems (hiragana, katakana, and kanji), and in romaji. Romaji is very practical for conversational use when you don\u2019t know <a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/why-japanese-kanji\/\" class=\"ek-link\">how to pronounce kanji <\/a>or how to read the two syllabary alphabets. Users using Google Translate can occasionally have peculiar translation results, though is nonetheless an amazing technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">There is also <strong>a<\/strong> <strong>vocal translator with voice input<\/strong>. But <strong>a huge asset is the scanning and camera feature, which can scan Japanese text.<\/strong> The user hovers the smartphone&#8217;s camera over the Japanese text, with kanji, hiragana, and katakana. Japanese&nbsp;syllabaries and kanji are captured, and the translation is instantly displayed in English. This scanning feature is helpful when reading menus and other signage, especially when you&#8217;re faced with unknown kanjis. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/17085147\/Instant-translation.jpg\" alt=\"smartphone translating Japanese text with the google translation app\" class=\"wp-image-83244\" width=\"384\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/17085147\/Instant-translation.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/17085147\/Instant-translation-375x500.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Now you can read those menu items with the help of the camera feature on the Google Translate app.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">One small downside would be that Japanese translations often fall under <strong>a neutral or sometimes colloquial level<\/strong>. Also, in terms of vocabulary, Google Translate often presents modern words <strong>of English origin<\/strong> more than older words of Japanese origin. For example, it would rather prefer to translate &#8220;milk&#8221; into\u300c\u30df\u30af\u30eb\u300d(<em>miruku<\/em>), rather than\u300c\u725b\u4e73\u300d(<em>gy\u016bny\u016b<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">To conclude, Google Translate appears to be <strong>highly useful for words, phrases, and short texts<\/strong>.

Here are our recommendations of translations tools for professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-deepl\">DeepL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><a aria-label=\"DeepL, the Linguee translator (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.deepl.com\/translator#ja\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">DeepL, the Linguee translator<\/a>, is a popular online translation service. It is particularly suitable for <strong>longer sentences and paragraphs<\/strong>. DeepL is good <strong>for general use and professionals<\/strong> and does better compared to Google Translate for longer written translations to be used in a professional context. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">One weak point is that neither romaji nor furigana (small hiragana that appears above kanji) is displayed in the Japanese text. Therefore, DeepL is <strong>adequate for written translations<\/strong> but probably less convenient for Japanese learners, or for those who cannot read kanji and want to use translations to speak.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"453\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/10181743\/DeepL-Tokyo-Tower-1024x453.jpg\" alt=\"DeepL translation app for Japanese to English\" class=\"wp-image-83133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/10181743\/DeepL-Tokyo-Tower-1024x453.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/10181743\/DeepL-Tokyo-Tower-500x221.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/10181743\/DeepL-Tokyo-Tower-1536x680.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/10181743\/DeepL-Tokyo-Tower.jpg 1717w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">DeepL is perfect for those long sentences and paragraphs with a focus on providing contextually appropriate translations.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">DeepL is a special and powerful engine. It doesn\u2019t provide a word-for-word translation but <strong>trains its algorithms and artificial intelligence to understand and translate texts.<\/strong> Then, based on a text corpus already translated, it tries to place the text in an appropriate context to provide <strong>a more careful, natural, and sensitive translation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deepl.com\/en\/app\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">DeepL is also available as a desktop download. <\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-yandex-translate\">Yandex Translate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The Russian site, <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/translate.yandex.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">Yandex Translate<\/a>, has the advantage of providing <strong>three translation modes: Text, Site, and Document<\/strong>. It translates words, sentences, and texts, and it also provides a translated website pages by inputting a URL. It is also possible to <strong>upload files<\/strong> from your hard disk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-find-online-translators\">A Note About How to Find Online Translators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">When looking for an online translator, one must distinguish a dictionary or a phrasebook from a translator service. So, on your browser or on an app store, it&#8217;s best to search using the word<strong> \u201ctranslator\u201d <\/strong>or<strong> \u201ctranslate\u201d<\/strong>, rather than directly searching \u201cJapanese translator\u201d, so as to broaden your search field to multi-language translators.&nbsp;On the app&#8217;s store page, take a look at the <strong>comments, feedback, reviews, and ratings<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/05100846\/take-away-available.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83733\" width=\"180\" height=\"200\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Get yourself the right translator for those day-to-day translation needs!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Since many accurate translation services are free, we recommend avoiding purchasing a translation app without testing it beforehand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"usetranslators\">A Word of Caution When Using Online Translators<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Users should note that <strong>translators do not always represent the most natural way to speak Japanese<\/strong>. Many tools translate word for word. They may translate pronouns, which are rarely used in Japanese. They often don\u2019t use <em>kenjougo, <\/em>\u8b19\u8b72\u8a9e (humble language) and <em>sonkeigo, <\/em>\u5c0a\u656c\u8a9e<em> <\/em>(honorific language).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong>Machine translation doesn&#8217;t always correspond to how a native speaker&nbsp;would speak<\/strong> and rather allows one to express general ideas. Ultimately, <strong>grammatical knowledge is necessary to contextualize words and to refine translations<\/strong> further for appropriate conversational context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-conclusion-review-your-translation-needs\">Conclusion: Review Your Translation Needs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">This list of translators is far from exhaustive. Many Japanese translation tools are available on browsers and as apps for your smartphone. The choice will depend on what your needs are. If you can&#8217;t read hiragana or katana or need to talk, a translator with a romaji transcription will be very important for pronunciation. If you want to know a vocabulary in Japanese, to have the accurate meaning and translation of a word, or if you need to write in Japanese, a translator with a focus on the Japanese&nbsp;syllabaries and the kanji will be essential. In daily life, on the street, or on a trip, visual translation services are valuable assets. Google Translate&#8217;s camera feature is especially appropriate to translate street signs and notices. As there are numerous suitable and accurate translation tools, the best way to take advantage of them is to mix uses according to the situation and the need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Knowing a few basic Japanese words and holding a conversation can be very helpful in Japan, especially in a country&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":168,"featured_media":83635,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pgc_meta":"","_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":10,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","footnotes":""},"categories":[2050],"tags":[1385,2231],"class_list":{"0":"post-83127","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-things-to-know","8":"tag-japanese","9":"tag-living-in-japan"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Japanese Translation: Best Free Online Translators &amp; Apps to Use<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Finding the right Japanese translator to suit your needs can be a challenge.
