Free auto-translation is, like Tom said, exactly Robot .
By contraries English-Japanese is the same.
No idea taking free translation except you have a good Japanese friend.

Hi, Tom,
Forgive my very inelegant quickie translation, made after skimming only the
first few lines of the article, but the title is something along the lines
of "[An Interview with] Takeaki Anazawa, the 'Man Who Made Denon': Why Denon
Decided to Tackle the Invention of the World's First Commercial Digital
Recording [Device]". (The brackets indicate my assessment of what is implied
though not stated---it's true that Japanese often does not make an easy
transition to English!)
This looks like a great series of articles, and definitely worth
translating. I'll see what I can do with them, perhaps over the holiday
break.
Thanks for bringing them to our attention!

Denon posted a multi-part profile of Dr. Anazawa, the leader of their
pioneering digital recording
team:
http://pr.denon.com/jp/Denon/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=259#.Vmbzxl6I_fJ
Google "translate" does such a mangling of Japanese-English that I can't
even be sure what the article is about, much less what Dr. Anazwa said. From
the little exposure I've had to Japanese, it's not a language that is easily
robo-translated into English (based on my experience with Google, that robot
has trouble with ANY language to English).
If there is anyone here fluent in Japanese and English, someone with some
interest in the early history of digital recording, it would be most
appreciated if they could post a translation.
