Does anyone know of a good english to Japanese translator?

I'm trying to get some words translated, but any translator I have found always displays the words in Japanese symbols instead of just a readable word. (for instance, If I wanted to translate thank you I'd like to get back arigato, not a bunch of symbols I don't know how to read)|||Automated online translators catagorically don't work. They mostly rely on using the most common definition of a word when translating rather than judging from context so most translations beyond very very simple sentences come out as jiberish.





You are better off using an online dictionary, learning some grammar and translating the text yourself, if you can't just go ask a native speaker what it means.





A great online dictionary that I've found is;
