I've run into a few automatic Kanji translation programs on the web, they don't seem to work on mixi! (It goes straight to the log in page even if I've already logged in. Then the next page after logging in isn't automatically translated). Does anyone know of one that does work? Kanji to hiragana prefered, Kanji to English is also good. Thanks for your help!!
Mmmm...it seems difficult because there are thousands combination of Kanji characters, and there are different Kanji characters for the same sound. You need to read the context to accurately translate, which is very hard for any computer to perform, I think.
Sorry, I can't be of any help, but I'd be curious to know if such program does exist!
I will appreciate if you would tell me which translation plogram you use, and maybe I can give you some advise or strategy to bypass.
I'm afraid that, in normal way the translation program can't login mixi on your account. By running some plogram working on your computer (not on the web), you would be able to get the translation of mixi, but it would cost somewhat...
I'm allllwaaayyss using this...

What I always do is...
copy some texts and put them to the box translation (you can put the whole website too, but i dont think it works well... i havent tried though..)
I always prepare that web and my dictionary to do mixi
it's just like part of my life
Try rikaichan or peraperakun. They are the most useful pieces of software you will ever encounter. They automatically translate any kanji you point the cursor at. If you encounter a kanji you don't know, just left click and turn on rikai chan, and then point at the kanji, then riakichan tells you the english translation and the word in hiragana. Peraperakun is just an updated version of rikaichan
Yeah, like everyone else has said, rikaichan is amazingly useful. If you hover over a kanji, you can tap shift or enter to see more details such as the kanji's radicals, stroke number, etc.
I tried out the Rikai-chan extension, but then gave the PeraPera-kun one a whirl. My advice is to skip the Rikai-chan and go straight to the PeraPera-kun extension. It has a lot more functionality. Apparently the Rikai-chan extension is infrequently updates and PeraPera-kun picks up where it left off.
