what browser are you using.

You don't need a translator if the characters are square, you need to download a language pack.

i just use explore the e lol...thanx ..were do i get teh pack at..?

Just search for the car auctions on google and then when the pages pop up instead of clicking on the initial link, there's one underneath the site info that says "translate page"

...that's what I do, and it works. Good luck.

you need to download the codes for your OS from your OS site then you can see the japanese text and you can translate it, well thats what i did

i have windows xp home edition...i look for it but im not goood with computer stuff anything more simple??

Try this...

1. In IE, go to 'Tools' -> 'Options'
2. On the general tab, click on 'Languages...'
3. If Japanese isn't on the list, click 'Add...'
4. Select Japanese, click Ok.

You may need to restart your browser.

Go here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=EN

Download the language pack, then close all instances of IE and install. I don't think you need to reboot, but if it doesn't show up correctly after the install, then reboot and retry.

Hope this helps!

^^^ That's for Office and won't work on Windows XP.

I installed it this past Sunday and it works with Firefox just fine. I run Windows XP too. It's that exact file I linked you to. And I don't have Office XP. Try it...
