Hello,

I do not know if this has been mentioned, but there is an easy way to translate written instructions from Japanese into English or another language. I have just done this myself for a couple of new Tenyo tricks I have just purchased.

You will need to use a phone with a camera.

If you use Google Lens it has a camera option with a translate button. You will be able to see a translation almost immediately on your screen. It has an option to take a photo, or you can take a screenshot.

Google Lens is available as a free app, and I believe there is a web version as well.

I also use this to translate craft books written in Japanese, and it works very well.
