I speak english. I want to be able to type the English words and have them translated into other languages. Japanese kanji, katagana, hiragana in my specific case. I tried using text input, but it just translates a letter at a time making my word a mix in English letters and Katagana characters.

well.... not that i know of. but your mac should have a translator in the dashboard. but remember the only good translator is a human. =)

Not now. Maybe in a few years or so. Or maybe never, if you stop to think about it.
There are several free automatic translators on the web. You can find them by googling it. (Your Dashboard translator uses Systran's.)
I tried using text input
I assume you mean you enabled Kotoeri, the Japanese input method. This is for those who wish to type in Japanese. It's not a translating tool.
Here what the translator included in the Dashboard widgets in OS 10.6.8 does for (or to) Japanese:
I have no idea if this is an acceptable or even accurate translation, but it does translate mostly as I type.

I think the best translator is
I agree, if we add "free". I think it's better than Systran; too bad that the only widget I could find which uses it has stopped working.
is there a way I can type in English but have it translate my words into another language?
