The technology available to us just gets better and better. For those of you who are struggling with Japanese (or even if you’re on top of the language and just want to refine your knowledge), there’s an extension called Rikaichan available for Firefox which allows you to read Japanese in real time as you hover over text. My colleague, Rick Lavin, and I were passing around web pages on adding extensions to Firefox. You will also need EDICT and KANJIDIC in order for everything to work.
I like this setup so much, I save a template with html tags in which to copy and paste emailed memos. This allows me to have the same resources for reading email messages.
Enjoy!
