Default IDN.bz question

How does it determine which word is primary and/or secondary? I just tried it with one word i believe is primary and got the result as secondary.

It's not important for me because the word is Japanese and I can judge its value without the help of an automated system. But still, I am curious.

because it does a reverse translation using google translate. ie. Japanese -> English -> Japanese

if you get the same term resulting that you started off with, its a good sign its primary, but it's not foolproof i guess - but still very smart thinking

Thanks Alphamale! That's exactly how it works. Blame Google for not returning the most used term, hehe. Anyway, I print "most probably a prime term" just in case.
