	I don't know whether I've understood your question, but I have two very nice Mozilla Firefox apps which help you to read things on the web. Their names are Rikaichan and Furigana Injector. Unfortunately, I don't know any good app for the Italian language, but you're asking about any kind of language, I think. Furigana Injector: With this resource, you don't have to know all those Kanji to be able to read Japanese texts. You just active it, and then, Hiragana & Katana appears above the Kanji. I'll give you an example: Let's imagine that you have seen this Kanji "愛" on some website. When you activate the Furigana Injector, the Hiragana (phonetic alphabet) will appear above the Kanji, in this case, it would be "あい". It makes things easier for lazy people and even beginners. Rikaichan: This app seems like magic. So let's use the same Kanji example "愛". When you activate this app software, just put your mouse set in this Kanji. A blue window will pop up, with the Hiragana/Katakana of the given Kanji, and also some useful informations like its meaning and what part of grammar it is, if it is a verb, a noun, etc. Hope you Japanese learners enjoy it. 1 person has voted this message useful
