NII has developed a new automatic translation feature (自動翻訳機能) for CiNii Research.
This feature is now in the test version. Nii would like as many people as possible to use this test version to improve the feature.
The Nii people would be very pleased, if you give them your feedbacks
Why is this feature so interesting?
Dear Colleagues,
