Question Japanese (Yahoo!) auctions help needed

[DLee122298]

Hello -

I'm new here and I apologize, sorry, if these are bad questions or I'm posting this in the wrong category, but I’ve found that unfortunately Google Alerts apparently don’t work for waiting for rare music CDs to show up in Japanese (Yahoo!) auctions. Or do they? Are there possibly any ways to set up automatic searching for such CDs in Japanese auctions without having to actually search for them myself every day or every couple days? Also, are there any ways to somehow get English translations for the few Japanese auctions for which English translations are apparently unavailable? Any help (or just any attempts or efforts to help) would be greatly well-appreciated - thanks.

One thought that comes to mind - Google Translator:

Have you tried listing your search criteria in English, translating it to Japanese, and then posting the translation in Google Alerts or the applicable search engine?

I just entered "Two Steps from Hell" and that came back as

地獄からの二歩

in Japanese.

Two Steps from Hell Auction

地獄オークションからの2つのステップ

and

jigoku auction kara no 2 tsu no step

If search results are returned you may have translate fromJapanese to English.....

= = = =

(Note: Two Steps from Hell being one of my favorite's to listen to.)
