I do not think Japanese transliteration is supported on the translation web
page. I tried the word "hai", and it gets translated (not transliterated) to
the Katakana equivalent "ハイ". This script is used to represent foreign
words.
If you type 'Yes', you will get the Hiragana equivalent "はい" which means
"yes".

Google Japan has released a Japanese IME which can be installed on Mac or
Windows, for transliteration.
