It is supported, but only in one direction..
If you translate from English to Japanese..
You type in "Yes", you will get both "はい" and "hai".  Its just not
documented.

I do NOT believe it is supported the other way..
You can NOT type in "hai" and get back "yes".  But this is just fine
for my purposes.
