If you have a smartphone you can try Google Lens -- it has a built-in translation function. You point your camera at the text and the translation shows up on the screen.

  When building the Khufu Solar Barge from Woody Joe, all the instructions were in Japanese - both their phonetic characters and also Kanji, the traditional Japanese character set.  Someone at my Xfinity store helped me download the Google translate app, and so - line by line - I held the phone camera over the text to get 'translations'.  Now it was funny that I had to do this several times over some of the lines of Japanese, since the english offered by the translator sometimes didn't make sense and would change in various ways on subsequent attempts.  Something like 'Don't go to her house until further down the street', or 'No stick around here until later' would eventually imply not to glue at the indicated points yet, until further in the assembly.  I may have commented on this in by build log.

Completed builds:  Khufu Solar Barge - 1:72 Woody Joe

Current project(s): Gorch Fock restoration 1:100, Billing Wasa (bust) - 1:100 Billings, Great Harry (bust) 1:88 ex. Sergal 1:65
