Looking closer at you question i see that you were asking what
the word "katakana" ment in english.I _think_ it translates directly
to "type of alphabet" as apposed to "hiragana" bieng "beginning alphabet"
and i would be interested to see how close i am..maybe critter can
confirm or deny my guesses...

"katakana ha eigo de nani desuka?"
Did i say that right,its been a LONG time since i have practiced,and
i hardly write english good.
