How to translate Japanese text

Translation from Japanese is difficult but interesting. Language learning takes several years. When there is a need to make a quick translation from the Japanese, we must remember that it is not as simple as for example, translation from European languages into Russian. But if you follow some simple rules, you can translate text of medium complexity, having deep knowledge of the language and any special literature.

• - gojuon (Japanese alphabet);
• - kanji (Japanese characters);
• - Russian-Japanese dictionary (Japanese-Russian dictionary);
• - the notebook.

2. Translate each character, which contains the key – a sort of original character. To him in turn add vertical and horizontal lines to change the meaning of the character. Such a key character you must find in the table.
3. Let's see, what number is the character. This number usually indicates the number of the more detailed tables of hieroglyphics that contain your key. For example, next to the Japanese kanji 字 written in the number – 39.
4. Page number 39 search for all values of the character 字. He translated into Russian language as "the child" and also refers to part of the village, town, or other locality.
5. Make a note of the dictionary all the meanings and word forms in a notebook, as well as its literal value (if any). In the future you will choose from these values the words that fit the meaning to the translated text.
