Exactly. A good bit of the written language is super context sensitive. If you don’t know the context of the writting it can be difficult. But that only lasts for the first or second time that you read a certain topic. After you read for example: the sports page every day or something like that, you start to figure it out. I have never tried it but I would think it would take some pretty good software to make the leap on the context. Now stuff we deal with like tech specs of a jet, should be just fine.
Its a mix of their own meanings of the Chinese charachters and two other written sets: Hiragana and Katagana.
Japanese is a fun language though.
