Konnichiwa! This time, I'll teach you how to get the "secret codes" to enter Japanese text into Google, Yahoo, Bing, Yandex, or any other search engine!

It should be noted that while I do this on my 2DS, I believe these codes would work on a 3DS, a DSi, a PC, or a Smartphone (or anything else with a web browser).

Now, first you need to make sure you have room for a bookmark. The only way to enter the codes is to either type them into the URL, or type them into the URL of a bookmarked page (such as a bookmarked internet search page).

Now, as for getting the codes. First, go to the Translation site (in my case, I find Eudict.com works well). Make sure its set to convert English to Japanese Kanji. Then, type a word containing letters you want codes for (it's simplest, of course, if you actually want to search for a normal word), then have it translate it. On the left it should show a list of English words, and on the right it should show you them in Kana.

Next is the tricky part. Click on the Japanese word, and it will start trying to translate it into English. Before it finishes loading the page, either add it to your bookmarks, or hit the "i" button in your 3DS browser. If you bookmarked it (or hit the "i" button), you should see a bunch of stuff like "%E3%82%B8" in the URL. These are the codes. Each one converts to a Japanese letter.

Now, you can either:
A. Enter the codes into an already bookmarked search page.
B. Type a search website's address (with the codes in it) into the URL slot.
C. Simply enter the codes into a search normally, bookmark the search results, go into your bookmarks, and delete the "25"s after each "%". After doing that, the codes should work right.

Anyway, that's all for this lesson (and for today). Sayonara!

(This should do a Japanese to English translation of the word "Ryuujin", which means "Dragon God". The Draconids call Rayquaza "Ryuujin-sama" in the Pokémon Adventures Manga, BTW.)
