QRedit Translation Website/Tool

#1
Interesting article about QRedit in this week's Japan Times:
http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/e...422a1.html

Basically, this website:
http://trans-aid.jp/

Has an app call QRedit that's supposed to make translating from English<->Japanese much faster and easier. If you register, you'll get access to more and better translation tools, like a full Sanseido dictionary. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but I'm sure someone might be interested in it.

Right now it's geared mostly for English -> Japanese, but they're working on Japanese -> English functionality, too.

I think what they're saying makes a lot of sense for translators... Unfortunately, as a learner of the language, I think it takes the part that you learn from away, too. In that sense, it might be bad for the translator themselves if they rely on the translations to give them a good portion of the regular language practice.
