How this differs from Google Translate
- It returns more about a single word: the reading, the kanji, the rough JLPT level, the kind of situation it belongs to, and the sound. If you are looking up one word, that is more useful.
- It does not translate sentences. Use Google Translate when you need that. This is a dictionary.
- Every entry here was written by hand rather than machine-translated. Meanings are less likely to be off, but some words simply are not in it.
