ENGLISH TO JAPANESE GUIDE
English to Japanese live translation for real conversations
English to Japanese live translation turns spoken English into Japanese captions while the speaker is talking. The microphone tool above keeps the original English next to the Japanese translation, so a Japanese-speaking colleague, student, or audience member can follow a meeting, class, interview, or customer call without waiting for a written summary afterwards.
Use this direction when someone is presenting or answering questions in English and the people reading along need Japanese. English sentences are usually short and clause-heavy while Japanese puts the verb at the end, so each caption reads more naturally when the sentence is allowed to finish instead of being cut off mid-thought. Names, dates, and numbers are worth saying clearly, because a Japanese caption cannot recover a figure that was never audible.

Tips for clearer English to Japanese captions
- Let sentences finish before moving on: English links ideas with "and", "so", and "but", and the Japanese caption needs the end of the sentence before it can settle.
- Say figures and dates a little slower — "fifteen" and "fifty", or a date such as "the thirteenth", are easy to hear wrong and hard to notice afterwards.
- Introduce abbreviations and internal terms in full the first time (Q3 → the third quarter); short forms otherwise stay in English inside the Japanese line.

Frequently asked questions
What is live translation?
Live translation converts spoken language into translated captions while someone is speaking, so you can follow the conversation in real time.
Do I need to install anything?
This browser tool works from the page. For Google Meet, install the MeeLang Chrome extension to see translated subtitles inside the meeting.
Which languages are supported?
The tool uses the same source and target language options as the MeeLang extension, so any direction you can translate there works here too.
Does the tool speak the translation aloud?
No. It shows the original speech and translated captions side by side in the browser.
Which browsers can I use?
Use a browser that supports microphone access. If the microphone prompt does not appear, check the site permission and your input device.
Can I use it for Google Meet?
Use this page to try a language pair, then install the extension when you need translated subtitles over a live Google Meet call.
Are the Japanese captions written in a polite register?
The captions aim for clear, business-appropriate Japanese. Casual conversation and heavy slang can read more plainly than a human interpreter would phrase them, so keep the original English line visible when the tone matters.
