Okay guys, I need a very large amount of help. If I can get it, I'd really appreciate it, but if not, I guess that's okay too. But I've been wanting to begin my own UTAUloid for a while now - even if I've just joined the forum this month. I'd been looking through all sorts of videos where users showed off their UTAUloid skills. I can't read Japanese; in any form that is (if that makes sense). I don't know what hirogana is, or what katakana, romaji, or kanji are. I can't read them either. That makes things very difficult for me when using programs like UTAU and trying to find UTAUloids to use. To add to that, I'm not sure how to use a UTAUloid. My problem isn't that I don't know how to make the UTAUloid 'sing', but my problem, is that I cannot figure out yet how to import UTAUloid voicebanks into UTAU. I've actually went through a few tutorials to get some help with importing voice banks, but there's always a problem. Every voicebank I've downloaded ended up under different file extensions that I didn't understand, and also, although I don't need to read the 'Japanese' symbols to figure out the sounds in the banks, I can't figure out how to fix (not sure if it's called a UST or VSQ) a VSQ. What I mean there is, say, I downloaded a VSQ. Each note has written on it, romaji, rather. The voicebank is in weird Japanese symbols that I do not understand. The UTAUloid will not sing it.
To put everything into short - because I know this is boring and I'm confusing - can someone please explain/re-explain the topics here;

At first I began to understand what this user meant, and what she was talking about, but then when she continued on, she spoke as though I knew what 'strings' were.
I don't get the concept, as she's speaking as though I already have previously knowledge on it, which doesn't allow me any more to figure out what to do. And to tell you the truth, I still don't understand what a reclist is. So can someone please re-explain this for me? Or at least make it a little simpler to understand? I'm not sure how I'm supposed to write this out without causing tons of confusion.

You take a string of four to eight (in the case of Uzne Hito, who was released last month with an 8-mora, or 8-syllable, reclist)
