Nihongo English Dictionary
Download
I’ve been learning japanese for some time now, but without too much effect. Nonetheless, in order to help myself a little bit, I decided to create a small japanese dictionary. As I don’t have the knowledge to actually create the word lists, I used EDICT (for words and translations) and 12Dicts (to choose the most common ones)… The interface is not very elaborate, but it’s still useable, at least for me… The app was developed under an emulator – where it looks pretty simple, but still OK -, but on an actual device (Nokia N95) it looks terrible – it doesn’t integrate too well with Series 60 Themes… You have been warned, but still, it’s not that bad:)
It has 11838 english and 19153 japanese words, due to some memory limitations. I cannot guarantee that the translations are correct, so use it at your own risk.
One tip:
If you can’t find the word you are looking for using the main screen, try the browser – it helps!
Here is the link:

Subset of EDICT words was selected based on 3esl.txt file from 12Dicts by Alan Beale.
It can be found at: http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/
Additional requirements:
App uses something around 2MB of memory, which is the limit for the emulator, but not for all phones…

The word “agency” has many meanings – so I can’t give you a specific answer, especially as my knowledge of japanese vocobulary isn’t too good. If you want to find it on the internet, I suggest trying FreeDict (English-Japanese version) – http://www.freedict.com/onldict/jap.html . You may also try Google Translate (also English-Japanese version) – http://translate.google.com/#en|ja| .However, if you have a little more time you can download and install Wakan http://wakan.manga.cz/ – it’s a really versalite tool, which includes dictionaries and a quite nice editor. Hope that helps.
