I've translated this from English to Japanese using google translate and i'd like a genuine Japanese reading person (as opposed to a computer translator) to let me know what it reads as ... 新鮮なミント In case it's been lost in translation by google  Thanks in advance Phil |

What you've come up with using the translation software reads: "Shinsen na minto", in a combination of Kanji and Katakana. That translates as "Fresh mint". The trouble is, you can't really expect English words or phrases to transliterate directly into Japanese anyway, and software doesn't really help with that. Very often the meaning will change even if it is legible. So if you want to turn "Fresh and Minty" into phonetic Japanese, it's best to use Katakana for the whole thing. That leaves you with: フレッシュ アンド ミンティーAnybody who reads Japanese would be able to read that phonetically "Fresh and Minty". HTH. |

Sure theres a way to turn google into Japanese, or try typing Google Japan site?
Got to be a way, if they can put a robot on a asteroid, this should be fairly easy!
