What's this? Guide to using @nifty's free Web translation service.

When you want to translate Japanese Web pages into English, @nifty's free service is convenient. In four easy steps, you can translate Japanese Web pages into English. Note that the translation is not perfect (see known mistranslations below), but it's much better than nothing. If you need further clarification, Contact Us.
Here's how:

1. Access this page: http://www.nifty.com/globalgate/
2. The page below will appear. Follow the illustration below to enter the URL of the target page, select the pull-down menu's bottom option (default is English-Japanese so you must select the bottom option for Japanese-English). Then click on the button. A new window will appear with the translated Web page.
