Looking from some help with japanese

Hi. Sorry if this is the wrong place - resmod let me know - but I wanted to aim somewhere I had decent odds of finding someone who uses Japanese in SL.
I have a gadget called Babbler, and looking for someone to test japanese with it.
it's meant as a personal translator.

Hello Max, do you remember me? I've seen you at shinmai's avatar contest. It is really sad that she left SL...

OK, I tried your Babbler. I set Japanese on the ear and English (no choice!) on the mouth. And I turned on the headphone. When I speak English, such as "Hello", it said just copied words, such as "Hello". It didn't translate anything at all. Sorry.

BTW, it is currently unavailable for writhing Japanese on the script. I don't think you can store Japanese letters in advance. Is it communicating your external server?

Hey Seagal.
If the ear is set to japanese, you need to speak Jpanese to it, and it should put ou english. obviously, i need some help with the documentation writing too

But logically the ear is a hearing device. When I set Japanese on it, I expected to hear Japanese.

Anyway, ok, I'll try it again and report it.

Oops, is it available only on your land? I got no response friom it on my land....

yeah. i was having trouble trying to find clear icons. Wanted to avoid words for obvious reasons. But ear is meant to symbolize Incoming lang that the machine hears, and the mouth/head out.

Alright, anyway it responded, but the letters were totally unreadable. hmm sometimes I've experienced it on the web pages by web browser. I often should change text encoding. Japanese text encoding is so complexed and there are several types, such as Shift JIS, ISO 2022-JP, EUC, Shift JIS X0213, and so on. I'm not expert on it. Sorry.

Make sure the server's responces are encoded in UTF-8
You probably want to use the equivelant of llEscapeURL on the server when you send the text back though - the XML-RPC/email system may mangle non-ASCII. Once the script receives the escaped string, you can just llUnescapeURL to turn it back into UTF-8 kana/kanji.

Hi Max. You can always try your Japanese (or translator) with me! We can find out if it really works.

When I finally get a computer that can run SL, I'd like to help you out.

I'm a native English speaker that spent 8 years in Japan.

Right now I work for a Japanese automaker in the U.S. (yes, I can speak Japanese)

Well, it seems to be working. I suspect it's far from perfect, but maybe people can come grab one.

I made sure it worked well. But... "Konnichiwa" was translated to "Today". Aha not incorrect but incorrect.

heh. At least it translated to a word.
I blame google! (since thats where the xlations come from). Thanks Seagel.
