Very welcome. I hope I was of some assistance. Good night.

Human knowledge is also a good option. Now I suggested my translation which is similar but different to yours and handed it in. Thanks again Davis. Good night in Japan.

David Gibney Mar 11, 2013:

An Internet search is really the only option if you are looking for quotations from works that may or may not have been translated into Japanese. How else are you going to find them unless the reference is given?

David Gibney Mar 11, 2013:

But the internet would be enough to find Bible quotations, set phrases and quotations from well known published works. If not I would think you would be able to translate text how you wanted. Also unless the published work has already been translated into Japanese it's highly unlikely that there is an established translation.

Davidさん、ありがとうございます。　Bibleだけではなく、文学からの引用もあります。　確かにインターネット検索は有効ですが、インターネットには載っていないものもたくさんありますので。　翻訳者はインターネットだけを頼りにしている訳ではありませんよね。　　とにかくありがとうございます。　

David Gibney Mar 11, 2013:

If it's from the Bible that would be the first thing to come up on an Internet search. Similarly a set phrase will probably have dictionaries and reference pages as the first hits. Best of luck with the translation.
