Just realized I should've sent this to here, too... silly me.

Everyone who's in the habit of trawling Japanese pages for info, but doesn't know Japanese should look into this. From what I understand it's an "enter page URL" translation service like several others I've run into... except this one still *loads* the page in Japanese, and you can then mouse-over the words to get kanji readings.
It seems to be meant as a learner's tool, but I thought it could be useful for this community too. Seeing as The Dreaded Fish and its ilk seems usually to spit up *one* translation and that's not always the best one.
One drawback I can see is, while the readings are in English, there's no romaji - which pretty much means you need to know hiragana. That's not hard though, tables are available online in many places, and I learned 90% of them by heart in a couple of weeks when I started Japanese.
