English Japanese Dictionary
Offline English–Japanese dictionary with kanji, hiragana and katakana support
Offline English–Japanese dictionary that renders kanji and kana properly
English Japanese Dictionary translates between English and Japanese entirely offline, displaying results in proper Japanese script — kanji, hiragana and katakana — rather than romaji alone. Japanese uses three writing systems together, and a dictionary that only shows a romanised spelling misses the character forms learners actually need to recognise. Built for students and anyone translating between the two languages regularly.
