The profile for tethering your iPhone and computer

日本語に機械翻訳する(Translate automatically in Japanese)


Hi, this is KEITASO*1. Today, I wrote a manual on tethering iPhone for Japanese iPhone users (mainly for my junior fellows).
どうも、ケイタソです。本日、日本のiPhoneユーザ向けにテザリングのマニュアルを書きました。といっても、主に後輩のためですが。
But I wrote it in English, not Japanese, because it's too lazy to write engineering documentations in Japanese.
日本のと言いつつ、英語で書いちゃいました。日本語ではなく。というのも、技術文書を日本語で書くのはめちゃ面倒なんです。*2
