When did Systrans (as used by Altavista) start supporting Japanese? Is this news?

That's been there for a while. We had a thread on it here [webmasterworld.com].

Ok thanks. (I thought it sounded familar, but was struck by a story about it on another site saying it was a new feature).

Maybe the Systran software got better? I found their Japanese translation extremely poor, and haven't used it since...but none of them are really any good. If you know some Japanese you get a lot more mileage out of the dictionary programs online.
