Romaji translations needed

I'm working on an anime I created entitled "Himno ki Shimo," which I created, and need the romanji translations for "to have siblings" and "to meet with again." www.freedict.com offers romanji translations but doesn't have these two.

Arigatougozaimasu.

You already have the word in romaji... what exactly do you need?

Okay, I see now. FIRST... you need to quots. Quotes around what you need, "to have siblings" and "to see again" in this case, makes it very understandable.

to have siblings = kyoudai ga iru
to see again = mata au (assuming you mean "meet with a person" again)

Like GP says: Romaji

more: "is that you?" (I assume it to be something like: yu-sawachi wa) and "nice to see (meet with) you again" (assumption: youkoso sai (yoi mata au))

Literally they'd be.

is that you? = Anaata desu ka? (They'd probably use the person's name though)
nice to meet you again = mata aete yokatta (it's literally 'nice to have been able to meet you again, but sound correcter).

situation: students late to class
"not to let (it) happen again" and "we won't let it happen again"
episode title:
What the Hell (assumption: Nani za Naraku)

Hmmm....
situation: students late to class

"not to let (it) happen again" = ni dou to chikoku shinai you ni
That would be what someone would say to the person who is late

"we won't let it happen again" = (if it's the tardy person replying, affirming they won't be late again) it'd probably be something like "hai. wakarimashita". If you want the trans of your sentence though, it's "(watashitachi ha) kore kara chikoku shimasen".

Maybe someoen else can shed some light.

Also, you might want to try the "need a word or phrase translated?" thread in the main Learning Japanese forum. You'll get quicker (and more) replies.

Also, don't look up words in FreeDict and put them together to form sentences, for two reasons. One, Japanese doesn't work that way, and two, the "translations" don't look very reliable.

Another thing: what is the title of your anime supposed to mean?

while the title may sound japanese to someone who can't understand a word of it, "himno" is impossible to spell in kana. Since you say it doesn't mean anything try changing it to Hinmo.
