    Babelfish isn't perfect, but if you're only translating a word or two it should suffice. You will have to spell both words correctly or it won't be able to translate them, though. ;)

    I hope you enjoy your tattoos :)

    Are you certain you're spelling them correctly? Entering "homosexual" into Babelfish resulted in "同性愛"

    Although it couldn't translate "heterosexual"... very interesting. Perhaps the Japanese are trying to hide something from us? :p

    If you're willing to go to Chinese instead, heterosexual is translated to "異性愛" and "异性爱" depending on which option you choose.

    erm thats kind of offensive thanks im part Japanese

    anyway Chinese and Japanese use the same characters in their writing. The phonetical alaphabet in Japanese is unique but the Kanji are all the same. Actually in Japanese your taught both the Chinese and Japanese pronunciations

    Umm, sorry, it wasn't intended to offend anyone.

    Anyway, thanks for clearing that up, I wouldn't have known otherwise.
