I have found the solution. The manual page (http://mecab.sourceforge.net/dic.html) includes what I need. And I have asked one of my friend who knows Japanese to explain to me.
Wish my English be better, then I can supply colleagues an English version of the manual.

Hi,
Could you please tell us exactly what input is and desired output is?
By the way, after installing mecab tool, in the command line, you can refer the help of the tool by typing:
mecab.exe --help
The help is in English.
Best regards, Pham

We have the same problem; are there any English versions anywhere (specially for mecab). Pointers and advice appreciated

Hi,all
I'm currently trying to process Japanese texts.
Some friends suggest me use Chasen or Mecab.
However, since almost of the user manual is in Japanese, I can not understand completely.
My expectation is that the segmentation tool can recognize the words preferred to my term list.
Note that I have not enough gold data for the training of the tools, so, the off-the-shelf tool is better for me.
Looking forward to your reply, thanks.
