Dude, didn't you know that Hello Kitty vibrators are sooo last year?

That site thunder550 gave does do a fairly decent job as far as machine translators go. But japanese gives those things fits. For instance, "Empty Cart" (カートは空です - kaato wa sora desu) gets literally translated as "The cart is the sky" - and I'm gonna bet a bunch of you have pure gibberish on the screen right now...

But it doesn't look like they ship outside of Japan - at least their shopping cart system doesn't support it. Send 'em an email and politely ask about US importers. I've also got some friends I'm going to forward this on to and see what they come up with.

You just made my day! I've been getting that translation on every site I tried. I just figured they were trying to be poetic or something.

Here's a good test. Translate something from English to another language, then back to English again and see what happens

Start with:
I like watching interesting TV shows

Translate to Spanish:
Quiero mirar interesar las exposiciones de la televisión

Back to English:
I want to look at to interest the expositions of the television
