ALC アルク
Excellent translation service by ALC. Translate Japanese to English or vice versa.
What separates this from the average online translator is you can translate PHRASES!
It looks up your phrase input from news and a variety of articles and gives a list of returned findings so you can choose the Situation for what you want to say!
Highly recommended.
