Go to system preferences from Apple menu, click on international, go to the input menu, check Kotoeri and Hiragana and/or Katakana.

Select from the flag icon on top right—Hiragana.

Type what u want using your keyboard, i.e. nippon, it will change automatically to hiragana characters and still underline, hit the spacebar, it will change to the appropriate kanji, in this case 日本.

Do note that u need to enter words as it sounds, i.e. 大阪 will be oosaka (おおさ&#12363 and 東京 will be toukyou (とうきょ&#12358

i normally get my Japanese colleague to type for me

for translation you need to get a proper translator
english to japanese translation is not so straight forward

変換のために適切なトランスレーターを得る必要がある
英語から日本語の変換はそうまっすぐな前方でない

Kanji is 漢字... chinese characters.

You want to know how to enter them or you need someone to translate English to Japanese? I think your question is a bit salah.

Some of them have same meaning as proper chinese words. Tokyo = eastern capital. Both in kanji and chinese.

The Japanese text consists of 3 kind of writing in their daily text, hiragana, katakana and kanji.

If you are writing for commerical then it would most likely consists of the 3 types of text. if for educational purpose or just leisure, can just use hiragana with katakana.

Katakana is usually used for 'borrowed' word, eg, some of the English words that does not have a direct conversion, they will be replaced with katagana in the similar sound.
