I get the feeling Japan Forum is more a place for people who want to learn, than just free translation services, this is why we ask people to try. I guess, well to me anyway, automated translations don't count much as trying, but if you have gone to a lot of effort to download a prog and use 3 different ones then I guess it does show you have put effort in the only way you know how  .
Anyway try in the other thread I mentioned, I don't trust my own Japanese enough to do it from scratch for you.
It is worth knowing in future though that if you want accurate sentences it is not going to happen from a automated program because language just doesn't work that way. If you don't have the time/interest to learn or start learning the language for something then you'll have to find someone willing to do translation stuff for free. We are all a bit grumpy here and don't like doing that so much  |
I do know some Japanese actually, just not how to put together sentences very well! I just know words mostly...but that don't really help so much. I knew in that letter I wrote that I wanted to use something like "Yami...suki da yo...iie aishiteru yo." But that's about it. I'm no good at things like sentence order or particles or anything! I had a Japanese coursebook but it was no help at all...so now I have two dictionaries and a computer dictionary, but it still don't help with sentences very much! For something like one or two sentences I'll normally trust things like Google....to a fault anyway. But for something this long that I want to be accurate I don't really trust any of them! And the thread you mentioned, exactly where is it? I couldn't find it...I'm not too good at forums...I normally just read whatever I find interesting on them and hardly ever post anything at all! I wouldn't mind paying a few dollars to get it as correct as possible if I had the money but until my financial aid comes in next month I'm pretty much broke!
