Hi !
Does anyone know if it is possible and how to do it -
in email service Yahoo.co.jp to switch from Japanese to English ?
I have to use this service, but it's inconvenient using google translate all the time.
So advice how to switch to English will be much appreciated.

Unfortunately no such setting.
yahoo.co.jp is basically different entity from yahoo.
It's very much localize to Japan.

I also use Yahoo Japan. It is not possible to switch to English and frankly I do not why they would do that. Users of Yahoo Japan are mostly Japanese and are expected to understand the Terms of Service in Japanese when they sign in. Yahoo Japan is mostly owned by Softbank and not really linked to Yahoo, there are links to Yahoo UK, Yahoo HK, Yahoo India but no link to Yahoo Japan on Yahoo.com header.
You really need to realize that Japan is in Asia and foreigners here are mostly asians (Chinese, Korean, Thai...) english is not really the language foreigners speak here. English speakers are a minority even when counting the US military.

Sorry, I thought this was about reading yahoo.co.jp and not about email.
As for foreigners being in the minority (duh), if big Japanese companies like Amazon.com Japan, as well as Black Cat (Yamato), and others, can provide English language service, You would think that Yahoo could, too. Google, where I am at, has many languages available, while Yahoo has 41.
I used regular mail.google.com when I was in Japan a few months ago, and there was no Japanese involved. There is also an app for it on my iPad. Too bad you are forced to use Yahoo Japan, for whatever reason.
Doing a Google search for using English with Yahoo in Japan resulted in 231 million results, all negative, meaning not what you are looking for.
