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.
Read the Japanese source
Japanese often leaves the subject unstated. Include the preceding sentence when it identifies who is speaking or acting; do not assume a newly added “I” or “you” is certain.
Review the German result
Check noun capitalization, case endings and du/Sie. Split a long result into clauses for review without dropping the condition or final verb.
Listen in German
Try compound nouns within their sentence first, then repeat them more slowly. Long written words can contain several meaningful parts.
Before you begin
How do I translate Japanese to German and hear it?
This page starts with Japanese as the source and German 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 German reading unavailable on my device?
Reading uses voices supplied by your device. Without a matching German 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 German back into Japanese?
After translating, swap to use the German 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.
