is NOT possible in
NOT possible means:

Explanations on Japanese writing: First latin characters are entered like typing in any language using Latin characters. The Latin characters are automatically converted into hiragana characters. The hiragana characters are then converted into Kanji-characters and the correct ones must be chosen manually.

Needless to say but your help is highly appreciated.
