The Mac operating system boasts an integrated, free dictionary, including for Japanese to English, and many more, you can evoke with one keyboard shortcut.
You can even add dictionaries yourself to the Dictionary.app.
For CafeTran, there's a blog in Japanese, and on the Cafetran forum, translators to and from Japanese are quite active.

Thanks for this. I have actually been using this off and on, but there are two problems with this:
1) Shortcut for Mac OS X dictionary doesn't seem to work inside of Google docs
2) Even if I could get the shortcut to work, the dictionary that defaults is lacking, and I can't seem to add my own Japanese dictionary (even though you said it should work). I could only figure out how to add other languages, which isn't helpful.
