Katakana is the Japanese Alphabet used to represent words borrowed from other languages, such as English, like a persons name. The Katakana keyboard is very differently labled than the english keyboard. Below is a keyboard map and sound chart of Katakana. To use this form, sound out whatever it is you want a translation of, and look it up on the sound chart (click here for an example, PopUp blockers must be turned off). The symbol in the key column is the key on your keyboard you need to type into the textbox on form at the bottom of the page to get that sound. When you click the preview button the text will appear in Katakana. What appears in your cart, and the keys you typed, are the key strokes which we will use to make your decal.

To put it simply if you type A you will not get the decal for the katakana translation of "A", you will get the decal for the translation of "di". There are no capitals in katakana so if you wanted the decal of the translation of the "a", as in at, you would type the key 3.
