Why do you need to translate signs?

because public transport is MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than it is where I live in the US.

This is a strange thought process to have. Most western tourists don't know a lick of Japanese. If you travel to the cities, you will be fine. I didn't need a translator. Some people (service industry) spoke English in the cities, But there's apps for that now. if you visit the country/non touristy areas, you'll probably need Google translate.

I went to Japan for work 6 years ago for 2 weeks ago. I actually bought a hardware device for language translations, but I never used it. Total waste of money. it's crazy that in 6 years time we have real time translating.

Knowing some Japanese helps, but you can get by as a tourist. If you intend on living in Japan, then you absolutely need to know Japanese.

Maybe you're in a larger city where this type of shit is more common - but I literally have ZERO EXPERIENCE with public transit, let alone in other language - and this is probably the majority of America.
