Coding Japanese TextEdit

While most browsers can read Japanese text nowadays, coding can be used just to be on the safe side, with a nihongo template.

The code:{{nihongo|'''Romanized Title'''|Japanese text|Phonetics}}

For example: {{nihongo|'''Project.R'''|プロジェクト・ドット・アール|Purojekuto Dotto Āru}}

makes

Project.R (プロジェクト・ドット・アール Purojekuto Dotto Āru?)

Word PreferenceEdit

As an English language resource, this wiki will use English words for common Japanese nouns. There are still points of contention but when applicable we'll add them to this list.

Common NounsEdit

  • henshin- use 'transform'
  • senshi- for Sentai rangers, use 'ranger' instead as established in GokaigerIcon-crosswiki
  • gattai- use 'combination'
  • taisen- use 'war' or 'wars', unless its an official Romanization for the title, such as Super Hero Taisen and all other sentai names.

Proper NounsEdit

  • Show titles are typically translated unless Romanized officially.
