English to Japanese Translation
Most translators turn English into textbook Japanese that sounds robotic. SayLy produces the kind of Japanese people actually speak — with proper keigo when needed, casual forms when appropriate, and natural sentence flow.
Features
- Context-sensitive keigo: formal for your boss, casual for friends, polite for strangers
- Handles English idioms and slang without producing awkward literal translations
- Natural Japanese word order — not just rearranged English
- Appropriate use of particles (wa, ga, wo, ni) that most translators get wrong
- Produces both written and spoken Japanese styles depending on your situation
- Understands ambiguous English pronouns and adds clarity in Japanese
Use Cases
- Messaging Japanese coworkers on Slack, LINE, or email
- Explaining your situation at a clinic, pharmacy, or government office
- Negotiating apartment contracts and understanding lease terms
- Making phone reservations and handling customer service calls
