you can do it yourself if you go to sysprefs / international and enable japanese language.
then open textedit and type:
"i" and you will get an "E" character
"pi" and you will get a "P" character
type "nana" and you will get the "7" character
type "iti" and you will get the "1" chracter
someone here will probably do it for you though.

That would be "ii pii shichi ichi" or "ii pii nana ichi" - either is fine - for "E - P - 7 - 1".
In Japanese writing:
イーピー七一
though you're more likely to see it as
イーピー71
If you want "seventy-one", that would be "ii pii nana-jyuu ichi".
イーピー七十一

What in the world does "EP71" mean? Without that it would be difficult to give a proper translation; just look at all of the possibilities given above. If you're just looking for pronunciation, then イーピーなないち or ななじゅういち is fine, but if you're looking to write this in Japanese then it's probably just going to be "EP71."
PS. If you want this in Japanese because Japanese is "cool," please don't do whatever you were planning to do with it.
PPS. If "EP71" is the networking stuff shown first in a Google search, then in Japanese it would be written "EP71" and pronounced イーピーなないち.

Yeah, it's kind of hard to "translate" a meaningless string of characters.

Thanks for the answers. EP71 stands for the motor and model code of the Toyota Starlet 1.3 l back in the eighties. A guy i know (crazy about older Toyotas) asked me, because another "cult car", the corolla AE86 is known as the "hachi roku" in the scene and these guys also like to apply the japanese character as decals on their cars. He would like to have an equivalent for the EP71....

In this case, wataru's first "PS" applies.

"Hachi roku" just means "eight six." The equivalent would be "nana ichi" (七一 or 71), but again, "七一" doesn't appear to be used for the Starlet. At least not that I can Google.

I know that "hachi roku" just stands for 86. But what do you mean? It´s the code for both motor and chasis type, so "nana ichi" would be the equivalent of HR for the Starlet...

The difference being that the corolla is "known as" the hachiroku, while the starlet is NOT known as the nanaichi.

And you want to get what exactly as a decal now?
I'm afraid I have to restate: Please don't do this if you're doing it because Japanese is "cool."

It's not his car. It's some other guy who wants to do it. At least he's asking for proper characters, not like some people who get a Chinese (or Kanji) character tatooed on their arm because it "looks cool" and later on find out it means something like "fairy queen" or some such unintended nonsense.
I remember being out with my friends, and one of them was wearing a baseball cap with Chinese characters on it, and my other friend's Taiwanese wife asked him why his cap said "Broken House" on it. He never wore that cap in public ever again.

仙女王?
I don't think there is even a Chinese word for 'fairy queen'...
I remember being out with my friends, and one of them was wearing a baseball cap with Chinese characters on it, and my other friend's Taiwanese wife asked him why his cap said "Broken House" on it. He never wore that cap in public ever again.
A while ago, while walking down Strøget (pedestrian zone in central Copenhagen), I saw a woman who was wearing a t-shirt that said, in characters, “I haven't the faintest idea what these characters mean, but I'm insanely cool” (“不晓得此字啥意,只晓得此杉酷极”, in a very odd style of Chinese pseudo-poetry). It was all I could do to keep myself from asking if she was wearing it ironically (making the purpose of the shirt exactly my reaction), or if the text was actually true.
Edit: Argh, damn broken UTF-8!

Yup, I want one too. Need to get started on making one. (No idea how, though)
