English to romaji converter

This program converts english words, names and sentences to rômaji by transforming them to phonemes and then converting the phonemes to rômaji.
Rômaji (ローマ字) is the romanization (transliteration to latin characters) of the japanese writing.
This page therefore contains an english to japanese writing -converter.

NOTE: This is not a translator! This is not a dictionary!
It only converts between different writing methods.

Sorry, I do not have a reverse converter (katakana to english) here.
But I do have a kana and kanji to rômaji filter.

If you want to convert rômaji to english, try looking the words up from a dictionary.

You must try hard if you want to supplement this list ;)

That latest one is especially stupid. How can anyone miss those BIG LETTERS saying that this is indeed not a dictionary or a translator?
Use DICTIONARY if you want to translate words from english to japanese!!
Graah, baka baka baka.

The English to phonemes tables and code were directly copied from the public domain rsynth-2.0 project (speech synthesizer), which copies the data from a publication from 1976.

Phoneme code to rômaji conversion is based on a direct conversion with no dictionary, so you might get different results than when looking at your dictionary.

The conversion program is quite logical and straightforward.
English isn't. Therefore the results might not be the best quality. An example of poorly converted word is "what".

GNU make is required.
