That says "Konnichi wa." It means "hello" or "good day." It's what people say to greet one another.

It says "Konnichi wa*".

*The wa is actually "ha" but in Japanese "wa" is a particle to mark the topic of a sentence... and you spell it as "ha".
(Wa is わ and ha is は)

"Kon" (こん) is "this"
"Nichi" (にち or 日 but you don't use 日 in this word) is "day"

So it would literally be "this day [wa]".

Basically it's something like asking "how is this day?" but for simplicity's sake, it just means "hello" or "good day".

This is only used around afternoon though.. someone already posted the other words so I won't bother to say those.

こんにちは means "Konnichiwa" which means "hello" or "good afternoon".
For example, in the morning, you wouldn't say こんにちは.
You would say either おはよう (ohayou) or おはようございます
(ohayou gozaimasu) to make it polite. In the evening, you would say こんばんは (konbanwa).

You didn't say what you wanted translated. Regardless, I don't speak it. BUT I used to work in export and we had to translate a LOT of correspondence -- we did this on babblefish.com. There is a section where you can translate a little at a time for free without downloading anything. Check it out. Hope it works.

Konichiwa. That's what it says. Konichiwa means hello. さよなら-that means goodbye!
