How do you say all the crafts, woodworking in particular, in Jp?

Edit: Just relised I should have probably put this in the Frequently Asked Questions forum, can a mod move it please?

I use the tab key to just auto-translate the crafts ;-)

Speaking of which, here's something that might get you what your looking for, courtesy of wiki.

Re: Crafts

I believe the .dat that stores auto translate info has direct translations. This should be better than the language you get from players, since it's the official game lingo, and not just something that means the same thing or similar. (Like, Carpentry and Woodcrafting might be the same, but the second term is much more familiar)

Auto-Translator: In Depth

Search for "Woodworking", etc.

Re: Crafts

From the Wikipedia "auto-translator" site:

Woodworking "mokkou" 木工
Clothcraft "saihou" 裁縫
Alchemy "renkinjutsu" 錬金術
Fishing "tsuri" 釣り
Bonecraft "honezaiku" 骨細工
Goldsmithing "choukin" 彫金
Smithing "kaji" 鍛冶
Cooking "chouri" 調理

Couldn't find "chocobo digging" though.

Re: Crafts

Hmm, thanks for the help but Im looking more for the single symbols that people use instead of the entire word. 木, would that be understood as woodworking?

Re: Crafts

Litteral translations by Babelfish:

Woodworking = 木工 = Carpenter
木 = Wood 工 = Manufacture

Clothcraft = 裁縫 = Needlework
裁 = Cutting/deciding 縫 = Sewing

Alchemy = 錬金術 = Alchemy
錬 = ? 金 = Gold 術 = Technique

Fishing = 釣り = Fishing
釣 = ? り = ?

Bonecraft = 骨細工 = Bone workmanship
骨 = Bone 細 = Detail 工 = Manufacture

Goldsmithing = 彫金 = Metal-carving
彫 = ? 金 = Gold

Smithing = 鍛冶 = Smithery
鍛 = Train 冶 = ?

Cooking = 調理 = Cooking
調 = Pitch 理 = Reason

I don't know if it's save to say to use the first letters. Maybe the Japanese abbreviate it though. I suggest checking in-game what symbols they use, and compare them to these.
