Bought the camera in japan, want to translate to english
You absolutely cannot select any other language on Japanese domestic SONY models. The professional line up of camcorders come with an English selection in the menu, but not the consumer models.
Suggestions by well intentioned but ill-informed people to follow the menu in the English user guide, will not get you anywhere. The Japanese models do not include this item in the menu. Plain and simple.
Visitors to Japan should be careful when purchasing items here as they more often than not only include Japanese manuals. SONY and Panasonic also only include English menus in their cameras. Canon and Nikon do have an English selection, but this should be confirmed at the point of purchase not after returning to your country!! Furthermore, warranties are usually only valid for Japan.

Does this help? "Changing the Language Setting" is located on the first page towards the bottom. It instructions of the symbols you select to reach the language section.

If this doesn't work could you try using google translate the locate the language section?

Sony cameras in Japan only have Japanese now it seems. To get English you need to buy an international model for an extra price.

Press the [MENU] button to display the Menu screen. Use cursor-down to select Settings (toolbox icon), then press * in the center of the cursor pad. Use cursor-down to select the second item, then press cursor-right, then *.
