Babelfish does not seem to do very well with Japanese.... actually, it does not do well in any language... but does REALLY badly in Japanese.

True, true. In my experience it's usually been enough to get the gist of things but certainly not enough to translate a manual on brain surgery.

I've used it on some S2000 tuners' sites - the Japanese->English never fails to crack me up. Might be worth a try just for the laugh.

Good luck otherwise!
