Unless you are planning to do something very specific that requires a lot of verbal communication, you don't need a translator to enjoy two weeks in Japan.

Put a translator app on your phone (one that works without an internet connection) and get a pocket guide of common phrases. The Japanese will largely respect that you are trying to communicate in their language, and you'll find quite a few who understand English.
