Japanese interpreter?
« on: September 11, 2018, 01:27:47 pm »
Can anyone on the forum read Japanese? I have a page from a Japanese car mag on my Alfa, and would love to know what it says. Don't need word for word, just some highlights and important facts.

Thanks

If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Did you try using Google translate? You can use it to scan a photo of the magazine page and it will translate it.
I did not! Good idea will try that.

might have to, Google translate was a mess.

Perhaps I could light some candles and pray and the pages will translate themselves?

I've been using the app to translate Russian writing around the house and it is amazing how the letters rearrange themselves. Next thing will be some sort of universal translator earbud for traveling

Very nice! I like

I did use it, problem is it is an image of a magazine page. I dont have the mag so the resolution isnt amazing. The AI just isnt intuitive enough I guess to discern one smudgy character from another.

I think I need a real person.
