We now move on to the actual translation process--the most important part. There are two essential tools available on HIGOSIGN to help with the translation:
1. Multilingual Signage Database The multilingual database contains over 2000 entries of well-written signage in English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean that can be used as is or edited as desired.
2. Multi-site Translation lookup function This function uses a selection of language-specific appropriate automatic translation sites to provide machine-generated translations into the target language. It also provides Back Translations? which can be used to confirm the Japanese translation of the target.
