Kahlan_BrightBlade alright so how do I figure out how to translate the amount of yen into american money ex: 10yen =?? american dollars Think of One Yen being close in value to one US penny. Right now 1US dollar is about 115 yen, and 100 yen is about 86 cents. In the last 5 years, the value has been anywhere from 105-130 yen to one dollar, so 115 is about average.
If you place a decimal before the last 2 digits in a Japanese price, you can get a quick ballpark estimate of the US cost, and if you add two digits to a US price, you can estimate the cost in yen. I have a manga trade that is 390yen, I can put my decimal before the last 2 digits, and estimate the US cost is roughly $3.90. At the current rate it's actually $3.38, but like I said, it gives you a ballpark figure.
My shortcut works better in Canadian dollars since 100 yen = 1.01 CAD.
Google offers some quick currency conversion. Type this formula in the "search" box (The 'X's are the value you want to convert.)
From US dollars to yen: $XX.XX to yen From Yen to US Dollars: XXXyen to $

MistuhFieryCat I'm trying to get that feature to see Japanese characters I tried following the one that was insructed in Declan. I have Windows 2000 and it said I already had it. So, I tried installing it. But, when I tried following the procedure, it didn't have Japanese as one of its options. What do I do?
Sometimes you can just download certain fonts and you'll be able to see it. That's what we did on my dad's laptop. Look for the fonts MS Mincho, MS PMincho, MS Gothic, MS PGothic, MS UIGothic, and MV Bolvi. Any one of them should work.
For writing in Japanese, some pcs have a character map. On windows XP (I don't know if any other has it) go to start>all programs>accessories>system tools>character map. Change the font to MS Micho, MS Gothic, or MV Bolvi and click the checkbox underneath the characters for advanced options and change the character set to Windows: Japanese. You can change it to look for kanji by radicals or by hiragana.
Hope that helped. mrgreen
