Found some cool stuff on this site. You might have to use Google Translate.

Me want, but ouch.... 58,800.00 JPY = 702.038 USD
Don't use Google translate on Japanese....
Found a FL burger time once, and google translate made it :beaten up, cracked, dusty, and a lot of scary stuff more, where it was just new old stock...... |

Hi.
I was actually just playing around with Google Translate. I'd type something in english and translate it to Japan, China, or Korea, then paste it in google and search. Lot's of things I couldn't find would appear and some new ones I never saw....
What do you guys use to translate. I heard Chrome has a built in translator for the page but I haven't tried.

Just for loose words it will be OK. So for example Burger Time, is in Japanese Baagaa Taimu, which is in Katakana バーガータイム
Just when you know how to deform english to Jenglish, then you can throw it in any katakana converter.
And even if the word is not completely correct, like when you did put in bagataimu for example, autocorrect in Google will adjust the Katakana for you.
Your name is gēmu uotchi gai, which will be converted to ゲーム ウオッチ ガイ |

Ah...Cool.
Yea. I was doing it for basic words like "Game Watch" and anything specific like a brand I could even try tagging it onto the end in english. Worked ok.
I also used Google Images as well as the web search to help find a page with a relevant item.
Sometimes I search ebay Uk or Aus as well. Seems the advanced search setting for worldwide is a bit screwed up most of the time and doesn't work.
