If no one can help you, and if you have a smartphone, there are apps available which you can download to translate Japanese.

Apparently you just need to point your camera at the text to get an on screen translation.

I have no experience of them so cannot recommend one over another or tell you how well they work.

An internet search and some experimentation might help.
