Japanese to Romaji translate

It's really uncomfortable to maintain j-pop collection with japanese track names so is there any plugin that translates japanese symbols to readable romaji? Like this "玻璃の空" -----> "Hari no sora". I'd really appreciate for any help.

My searching finds nothing, which doesn't surprise me. Japanese is a complicated language, each kanji can be pronounced in several completely different ways depending on context, so it's not a simple as saying 空=sora (it could also be a, kara, su, muna, kuu).

You're better off having another tag for romaji/translated titles and translating them yourself.

Thanks for explaining, but there is a problem that I can't add tags to tracks, because it changes hash checksums of my torrents. In order to add tags I need to make double copy of music libriary for torrents and for myself which is kinda stupid.
