How can Japanese be translated into English?
The Japanese alphabet is not based off Latin, which means it has no roots with most other languages. So how exactly do people translate it?

The same way any other language can: the meanings of words, phrases and sentences are matched up, one language to the other.
Translation is not based on shared alphabets or shared word origins, but shared meanings. The concept of "big" or "red" or "food" or "swimming" is largely the same in any language, so it's just a matter of learning what words other languages use to convey that meaning.
