Thanks Charles,
Unfortunately, all site in the URL you suggested did not include Japanese
in the choices of languages. But it is useful site to remember since we will
have
need of other language translation.

I have heard of some really hilarious translations from these type of websites.
If I'm not mistaken, there was a thread about this awhile back. The problem
is that we use rather specialized language in pottery and I expect that it won't
translate well acrossed from English to Japanese or back. It doesn't do a very
good job with semi-related languages like English and French or German. I
checked out the sites at the given URL and found that they were only offering
translation with 4 or 5 of the European languages anyway. No Japanese.

Thanks again for suggestions.
After finding a good book "The Japanese Pottery Handbook" By kodansha,
my fellow Japanese listers seemed to be happy. In my opinion, one learns
the art of pottery by actually seeing the teacher's demonstration and
getting hands dirty. The terminology is so specialized and not so obvious.
For example, "spiral wedging" can be translated into Japanese word
"kikuneri".
Even being Japanese, I can't imagine what "kikuneri" might means since I
have not
taken any Japanese pottery classes. So just translating word for word is not
enough. You must learn the word and then you must learn what the word means
by watching your teacher's demonstration. I expect my fellow lister who is
teaching
this American fron New York to struggle with the students for a while. I am
sure
I will read about the progress time to time.
