  • best online japanese dictionary I've found to date.

    Note that this is a 1 way JP>En dictionary. And it is a word-by-word dictionary. Putting in long sentences it will break the sentence down into each word it knows.
    Very good reference, it tells you the meaning, the hiragana, the form and everything.

    for example putting in sentences like
    今日はいい天気ですね
    gives me this result
    # 今日は 【きょうは; こんにちは】 (1) (n-t) today; this day; (2) (int) hello; good day (daytime greeting); SP
    # 天気 【てんき】 (n) weather; the elements; fine weather; (P); EP

    There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot,
    but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence
    transform a yellow spot into the sun.

          It's not really one way, since you can input English as well (EN>JP ^^). You can make it a toolbar button in Firefox as well :D

              Sure that's really a good one? The program is a memory hog, my god does it eat memory and doesn't unload right unless you close all the firefox windows.

              /me leaves Axel mode.

              Sorry don't know why but I had a BAD urge to do that.
