Hiragana for Opera users

[Nick Hunter]

Those who use Opera 11 browser might be aware that it allows to install different extensions. There's quite a handful of nice ones out there, actually. But this one, I believe, is specifically worth mentioning here, seeing as people like to post phrases in hiragana. The extension basically converts the romaji text you input to hiragana (presumable to katakana, too, but I've yet to figure out how to switch to it ).

i use opera browser. but the add-ons above is from latin-hiragana.isn't there from english to hiragana?

^ that would be a full translator
What they mean is not Latin language, but Latin alphabet. Or, to be exact, the way you transcribe Japanese using Latin letters.
So if you want to convert "water", you don't need to type "aqua" or something, you just have to type "mizu".
You get: みず
