Packer16 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Has anyone found out how to translate the Japanese EDINET files to English like you can with DART for Korea? Packer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hielko Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Google Translate works pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frommi Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I used http://www.tse.or.jp/english/ to find the documents and then the HTML links to have it directly translated in google chrome. Doesn`t work for everything, but i was mainly interested in the corporate governance filings to see insider ownership. But i think west and nate have access to english annual reports, there was a discussion about this in the Fujimak thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packer16 Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 I tried the translation in Google Chrome here: https://disclosure.edinet-fsa.go.jp/E01EW/BLMainController.jsp?uji.verb=W00Z1010initialize&uji.bean=ek.bean.EKW00Z1010Bean&TID=W00Z1010Eng&PID=W1E63013&SESSIONKEY=1413664427186&lgKbn=1&pkbn=0&skbn=1&dskb=&askb=&dflg=0&iflg=0&cal=2&mul=9404&fls=on&mon=&yer=&pfs=4&row=100&idx=0&str=E04375&kbn=1&flg=&syoruiKanriNo=S1002XYW but for some reason it will not translate. Am I in the wrong place. TIA Packer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
west Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I don't have access to any English annual reports beyond what the company publishes. There was something on the Fujimak thread about translating stuff, as mentioned above, but I'd have to go back and look at it to find it. Packer, translating those pages in Google Chrome doesn't work for me either for some reason. Other pages, like http://finance.yahoo.co.jp/ for example, seem to work fine. I could probably write something to fix whatever's going on, but I'm going to be pretty busy until next weekend. If someone wants to email/pm me at that point to remind me to look into this (assuming no one else has come up with a solution in the meantime), it would be much appreciated!

gary17 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Try translate.google.com. You can copy paste content... google chrome works half the time from experience. I tried the translation in Google Chrome here: https://disclosure.edinet-fsa.go.jp/E01EW/BLMainController.jsp?uji.verb=W00Z1010initialize&uji.bean=ek.bean.EKW00Z1010Bean&TID=W00Z1010Eng&PID=W1E63013&SESSIONKEY=1413664427186&lgKbn=1&pkbn=0&skbn=1&dskb=&askb=&dflg=0&iflg=0&cal=2&mul=9404&fls=on&mon=&yer=&pfs=4&row=100&idx=0&str=E04375&kbn=1&flg=&syoruiKanriNo=S1002XYW but for some reason it will not translate.

frommi Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 With the google translator (translate.google.com) you can even translate pdf files, just choose the translate document and then when the dialog pops up enter the link to translate. But it won`t translate pictures or pdfs that are too big. (I had some reports with mainly pictures, there is no chance to get them translated.) I found some english annual reports when searching via google "company-name english annual report", but that was mainly the slightly bigger companies.
