Tsubasa Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 but that sort or corny for someone who would believe I have a real japanese pokemon with an english name as I remember , for english there only 5 word for the english writing , can xeo teach how to use this program ??? I've tried looking for Japanese translator , but most of them are incorrect and some doesn't work
xeomyr Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 to use it?? have you read the instruction?? it's actually very easy ... you just write something like baka ... and it will show the "katakana" or "hiragana" .. and from that, you can convert it to "kanji" .. but i don't think japanese pokemon use kanji .. it could be katakana ., because that's the "word" that they use for "english-->japanese" .. somthin like gundam-->gundamu ^^ ... because the japanese doesn't have "m" word .. but they have "mu" ^^ it's pretty easy to use it , dude just try it first , and after that .. give some comment ... anyway to use the program you need to know a little bit about the "romaji" ... or if you don't ... just use the best feature in the program , dictionary ^^

I've tried looking for Japanese translator , but most of them are incorrect and some doesn't work If you want to get it right (i.e. literal English to Japanese), you can try 1) Doing the phonetics translation yourself. If so, this site will give you the rudiments of what you need to do. http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/wwwjnames2.html Once you think you're up to it, type in the name in Romaji (the Japanese name in English letters) here. http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/wwwjnamesp.html This server can only generate names in katakana. If you really want hiragana, you'll have to use something else. 2)If the name is fairly common, then this name dictionary might help. http://www.takase.com/Names/NameInJapaneseP.htm Just a heads up, the Japanese language doesn't have a lot of standalone consonants (i.e. non-vowels like b,j,h,c). This should be no problem if the consonant is followed by a vowel (i.e. ra,do,ya,ki), but sometimes, it isn't the case. So you'll need to use the characters which are consonant + 'u'. The consonant 's' would then be 'su' in Romaji. 'B' would be 'bu', 'y' would be 'yu'. 'L' would be 'ru', because the language doesn't have the letter L, using 'r' instead, and 'v' would usually be 'bu', as there is no 'v' in Japanese. 'T' is a little fiddly, you can either use 'ch' + vowel or 'te'. 'Tsu' is not really a good idea, because of the 's' sound. An example: Sylar would be Sairaru in Romaji. The site should be able to help you from here. Hope that helps. Edited May 20, 2009 by Jayc

It'll all Hiragana and KAtakana, thankfully, since that's all I know so far. I think Jayc has the right idea. It's better to learn the basics of Katakana and Hiragana yourself so that you don't have to rely on an automated program that could make mistakes. One final note, when phonetically transcribing foreign words into Japanese kana, it's always Katakana that's used. Hiragana is used for native words of the language. Also, the Gundam example is more properly transcribed as ガンダム (Gandamu) rather than Gundamu, since the "u" vowels always sound like the "oo" in "poo". Remember, you're transcribing the pronunciation, not the spelling. EDIT: Just a heads up, the Japanese language doesn't have a lot of standalone consonants (i.e. non-vowels like b,j,h,c). It's better to say that the Japanese language doesn't have any stand-alone consonants. All of them must be paired with a vowel. The only exception is ん (ン), which represents a nasal sound similar to our "n" or "m", depending on which consonant follows it.

Aarux Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Is there any way for people to be able to use Japanese characters on Pokesav on a Mac...? Probably not, but I thought I'd ask.
Toffeuy Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 I have an easier way to make pokemon of that language but i'm not exactly sure if it will work. Alright, see how Project Pokemon's Pokedex has every language including Japanese. Go to the Japanese Pokedex and find the Pokemon you want. Just recognise the pokemon you want by the sprite next to the Japanese name. After that click on the pokemon you want, an then copy and paste its name onto Pokesav.
Jayc Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 I think that's the way people usually do this anyway, seeing that it's less of a hassle than setting up the Japanese keyboard and entering the individual characters.

Psycho K Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Awesome topic. I am not sure if I needed this to load up and make modifications (not to its name) to the Nintendo Zone Jirachi, but this is still great to have. Is there any way for people to be able to use Japanese characters on Pokesav on a Mac...? Probably not, but I thought I'd ask. I don't see how you would be using Pokesav on a Mac anyway. There isn't a Mac version out there, right? All I remember seeing was the EXE file which is a Windows application, of course. That being said, I guess you would need BootCamp and have Windows XP/Vista on as the second operating system. Once you have either of those, you would just follow the steps in the first post and be good to go. Alright, see how Project Pokemon's Pokedex has every language including Japanese. Go to the Japanese Pokedex and find the Pokemon you want. Just recognise the pokemon you want by the sprite next to the Japanese name.

You would also need to set the Pokemon's region to JPN, I'd think.
himee2 Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 You can do the same in XP as in Vista But I like Applocale more How do you do it without Applocale??
DBZBladezbooster Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) It seems I don't have a compact disc...I can't get those East Asian language files.. Edited September 13, 2009 by DBZBladezbooster
Misaki Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 so, i hope this is the right place for my question (i'm sorry if not, i'm new in this board^^'). i've got pokesav and applocale, but i don't know how i can write symbols like a heart (♥) without that pokesav makes it to a question mark. i need that because i've got a pokemon, which has a heart in its OT. (well, sorry for my bad english btw^^")

(well, sorry for my bad english btw^^") For the heart go into start, then click run, then type in charmap and press enter, and then find the heart, click it then click copy, then I think you should be able to just paste it into the thing (if it is this you want: ♥)

Orcamania5 Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 How do you insert a japanese character when you are using Windows 7?
Adydsauza Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 You must use AppLocale or set your regional Unicode setting to Japanese in order to display Japanese characters in Pokésav.
SynergySynerguy Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 Do you need this compact disc or you can download those languges without it?
Pokeswimmer1 Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 [sPRITE][/sPRITE] I don't know why satoshiX used rapidshare o_OIt's a Microsoft program you can download it from them. http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/tools/apploc.mspx The link you gave me says it's unavailble.[sPRITE][/sPRITE]
Dreamstalker Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 This should be the correct link for AppLocale: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=13209 This might also be useful (language packs for Win7 that don't require the DVD): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/languages ...Japanese is only available for the Ultimate or Enterprise editions of Win7 it seems (WTF).
