I still use "Take care." I'm sure lots of JP players have talked about that and understand what we mean to say.

Re: Looking for members. (A cookbook for /search and Auto-Translator invites)
Um... The OP is all about communicating better. Take care. (気を付けてください) is just inappropriate as a good-bye in Japanese, unless it's to people traveling in a dangerous zone. Even then, it still doesn't mean good bye--you can use it on the way to a camp surrounded by mean monsters.

Detect by soundTake care.

You can't demand a Japanese phrase mean what it does not because the phrase chosen for English can be used in other ways. In any case, just use Good bye. and See you again!; the first should work for all languages, and the second definitely works for Japanese.



I’m in pain, but I’m happy.
It hurts, but I can smile.
That’s why I can tell you from the depths of my being…

You would think the english half of that auto translate would be better as [be careful] or something similar rather than [take care].
