Voices & privacy

Translate sends your input to CastReader’s translation service. This tool does not save your original or translated text. Clear or leave the page to end the session. Reading uses on-device voices; languages depend on your device and browser, and do not use CastReader AI reading minutes.

Translation voice

Read the Chinese (Simplified) source

Chinese does not mark tense through verb endings. Retain time words such as 明天 and 已经, and check whom omitted subjects refer to.

Review the Japanese result

Review the level of politeness for the recipient. A grammatical Japanese sentence may still be too casual or too formal for the relationship.

Listen in Japanese

Read kanji names separately when their pronunciation matters. Japanese names can have multiple readings, and the installed voice may choose the wrong one.

Before you begin

How do I translate Chinese (Simplified) to Japanese and hear it?

This page starts with Chinese (Simplified) as the source and Japanese as the target. Paste text or try the example, then translate. Press Read translation after the result appears. Translation and playback are separate actions.

Why is Japanese reading unavailable on my device?

Reading uses voices supplied by your device. Without a matching Japanese voice exposed to the browser, the reading button is disabled. Translation and copying remain available. You may need to reopen the page after installing a voice.

Can I translate Japanese back into Chinese (Simplified)?

After translating, swap to use the Japanese result as the new original, or open the reverse-direction page. Back-translation helps compare wording but does not prove the first translation is correct.
