Let us consider a simple sentence that is easy to understand, and then slowly add the details.
+
*This one too.
−
 
 
−
切り替えなさい　Switch to it
 
−
 
 
−
*マップに切り替えなさい Switch to the map　(に indicates target)
 
−
(Z/E)でマップに切り替えなさい Switch to the map with E/Z (で indicates the means)
 
−
 
 
−
*アイテムモードにして、ZやEでマップに切り替えなさい (go into item mode, and then) Switch to the map with E/Z (にする, here literally "cause to be in item mode", te-form is used to loosely connect two sentences)
 
−
 
 
−
*スターとでアイテムモードにして、ZやEでマップに切り替えなさい Go into item mode with Start, and then switch to the map with E/Z (で indicates the means)
 
−
 
 
−
*たしかめるなら: スタートでアイテムモードにして、ΖやΕでマップに切り替えなさい。(If you want to confirm, then): Go into item mode with Start, and then switch to the map with E/Z (なら makes the first sentence a condition for the second, but other than that, these are two independent sentences, do not get intimidated just because the sentence seems long now)
 
−
 
 
−
*位置をたしかめるなら: スタートでアイテムモードにして、ΖやΕでマップに切り替えなさい。(If you want to confirm your position, then): Go into item mode with Start, and then switch to the map with E/Z

*And adding the last piece finally yields the translation above.

Incidentally, remember that this is not what you should do when trying to read Japanese. This is an illustration of how you could break down a sentence to see why it makes sense. If you truly want to master Japanese, you need to do this intuitively, not consciously, the same way you do it in your native language.

(You don't have JavaScript enabled. If you did, you'd be able to see the handy-dandy fixers we have for reformatting text.)

The below button runs the selected formatting fixers for you.

To run the fixer, first select the text in the edit box that you wish to reformat, then click the button. The handaku/dakuten fixer should be fine to run on an entire page, but for the rest, be careful that only Japanese text is selected.

The fixer does not work in IE (as of IE 8), but it should work in other popular browsers. However, it works better in Chrome than in Firefox, because Firefox scrolls back to the top after running the fixer, and Chrome doesn't. Hence, if you're running the fixer on many small bits of text, you might prefer to use Chrome.
