はじめまして what is the exact meaning? I know that the English translation of はじめまして is "How do you do" and どうぞよろしく is translated "Nice to meet you" But searching for the roots of the meaning i try to translate it literally so はじめまして どうぞよろしく is "we meet for the first time, by all means, please remember me" but I am not sure about まして. Am I correct?

How do you translate Japanese - beginner mode Haroo! Can you please share your method for translation of Japanese text. It is a good practice to translate text, but in Japanese is a little harder. Here is my method: I use Google Translate to "break" the sentence into the corresponding words. I know the translation in Google is not very correct but the automatic translation helps to separate individual parts. Then I search for translation of each word in other online dictionaries or offline I use Jquick Trans. And finally and hopefully I try to make sense of the sentence ^^

How to understand this sentence I found this sentence ひだるい時にまずいものなし It means: Nothing tastes bad, when hungry Hidarui, toki ni mazui mono nai. but I have hard time to understand the literal construction. Can somebody explain?
