Note the following 2 pages are too long for Google's translator to cope with (and Babelfish threw a wobbler at the 2nd one (didn't try the 1st)). So you may need to use Babel fish (it works for just the text on the 2nd page, again didn't try the 1st) or Google Translator (not tried) to convert the remaining Japanese.
