Translate English to Japanese or Japanese to English, then study the Japanese phrase word by word. Furigana shows kana readings above words containing kanji. Romaji writes the reading in Latin letters, and audio lets you hear the Japanese phrase.
The word list shows dictionary forms, including the base forms of conjugated verbs. Kanji cards link to our Japanese dictionary for readings, meanings and stroke order. For more practice, explore hiragana and katakana or Japanese verb conjugation.
Recognized grammar patterns are highlighted in the Japanese phrase. Use the grammar cards below the translation to open the matching lesson. For example, 〜なければなりません expresses obligation. Detection covers selected constructions, so some patterns may remain unmarked.
Translator questions
Does the translator explain grammar?
Recognized grammar patterns are highlighted in the Japanese phrase and linked to the matching lesson. A card explains the pattern below the translation. Detection covers selected verb constructions; it does not identify every grammar point or resolve every ambiguous phrase.
Can I translate Japanese to English?
Yes. Switch languages to translate Japanese to English. The Japanese source phrase keeps its furigana, romaji and dictionary breakdown.
Does the translator show furigana and romaji?
Yes. Show furigana above Japanese words, reveal it on tap or hide it. Romaji and kana readings have separate switches, and the speaker button plays Japanese pronunciation.
Can I look up the kanji in a translation?
Each distinct kanji appears below the phrase with its meanings, available JLPT level and stroke count. Open a character for dictionary readings and stroke order, or open a word to look up its dictionary form.
How much text can I translate?
Enter up to 400 characters per phrase. Short sentences usually provide a clearer starting point for studying the words and kanji in a translation.
