Wife has just brought a Japanese import and we would like help to translate language on screen, eg how to change clock and how to turn off navigator just to name a couple. Any help much appreciated.

HI ME TOO woody244, I've brought a Subie Impreza 07 and has a fab unit/stereo in it but same its all in Japanse, I thought I might find an exchange student and give them $20 to translate it for me. Been to a couple of stereo/auto electricans and they not keen to touch my unit ! Good luck

Hi kyliejoy, I rang the local international college here in palmy north and they were more than happy to help, just have to roll up to reception. Maybe you may be able to do the same.

Not really. Kanji is similar (based on same characters). Katakana and Hirigana are unique to Japan as far as I'm aware.

Chinese and Japanese are totally different langauges. I know this as I was once at diner in Shanghai with my Japanese agent and he took with him a Japenese lady who spoke/read Chinese to translate at meetings he had with the Chinese. Hard case at dinner as we had about eight of us and three langauges. We had - Jap lady spoke Japaneses and Chinese. - Jap man spoke Japanese and English - Kiwis with just English
Much translation going on. She read menu and translated to Jap and then he told us what it was in English.
