 You can also use the Babel Fish site to translate English to Japanese.  It will return a very rough translation in kana. 

If you are studying Nihongo, you can then enter that kana into the Jim Breen site to understand the meanings of the kanjis it returned.  Then, check this translation with your dictionaries so you won't sound like a total idiot.   I use an electronic one and also an old fashioned dictionary to correct it, finding the kanji that I wanted, and placing it into the sentence with the grammar that I think will give the meaning I am trying to convey.   

Jim Breen's  Dictionary  is multifunctional and  very smart!  Be sure to check the box for Romanized Japanese if you are not using Kana.

  Use this link to start.        Babel Fish                      Paste the Japanese into the box, follow through, you will get back a very rough translation of the meaning in sentence form.  It may not make any sense at all, as many of the kanji have multiple meanings. But you will find it useful because it recognizes and attempts to translate all the kana, not just the kanji, so you get some useful grammatical sentence info.

I recommend that you  then use this next link                Jim Breen     to get a clearer understanding of the various meanings of each of the kanji.  At first, you will notice is this site gives you the hiragana pronunciation for the kanji.  This allows you to then look it up in your dictionary, and it also helps you in pronouncing and looking up the kanji.
