I's like Kana <-> Romanji translation to go with that, but > could live without it. Translation from Kanji to Kana is not hard. But Kata to Kanji is very hard. Frequently, several Kanji word have same Kana pronounciation. For example, the word "雲" (cloud) and "蜘蛛" (spider) are translated to same Kana "くも" (pronounced [KU-MO]). Therefore the best way is that make a document of Kanji and Kana, then translate it to Roma-ji (ISO-8859-1). -- NIIMI Satoshi
