Kanji Talk 7.5.3 (Power PC) is now available in English

[sabanusi2000]

I'm Japanese and when I opened your Kanji Talk 7.5.3 (Power PC), mac7.53 (Power PC) started. Also, please add other kanji talks your project is great

There is no PowerPC version of KanjiTalk, the only version is a 68K install: https://infinitemac.org/1996/KanjiTalk%207.5.3. Did you mean something else?

Is there a specific version of KanjiTalk you're interested in? #131 is about adding the System 6 version, and #206 is somewhat related (for adding more Japanese software, which may need more OS versions).

Without a Power PC install of Japanese Mac OS there is another way to do it: Installing Language Kits (but it's a bit of hassle)

I'd love to see a hassle-free PPC Japanese Mac OS added.

I'd use it to run BluePaint:

Thanks for the details @gingerbeardman. I'm closing this in favor of #105 and #251, which capture the intent more specifically.

@mihaip I also wonder... Is there is a PPC version of Japanese Mac OS?

I've actually never looked for one because I mostly use System 7 on a 68000.
