Translation help

[Unicron]

I need some help. I want to try translating some terms into Japanese, but the online transators I've found only show the results written in kanji (symbols). What I need are the actual words, such as the word ryu (dragon). Any advice?

Sure. I'll help. I'm bilingual.

Well, that's a step in the right direction, Rycher. I'm not remotely fluent in Japanese or how to write kanji, so that sort of textual translation isn't of much use to me. I think perhaps the term I'm looking for might be garyuu (sp?), which could be translated as dragon's fang.

Neo, it's nice to see you back. Any help is appreciated.

Yes, that's exactly how you'd say "Dragon's fang" although it looks like a name when I search for it in context. Like a direct steal from Chinese. If you wanted to say "The fang of the dragon", it'd be ryuu no ha I guess.

What's this for?

I purchased a new mech in MechQuest tonight, which I'm playing around with. Traditionally I've named my mechs Wolfsbane, but I decided to make an exception in this case. An oriental name sounded cool, and I do have a list of interesting names from Japan and China. But it's very small.
