Coding Japanese Text[]
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|'''Space Sheriffs'''|宇宙刑事|Uchū Keiji}}
makes
Space Sheriffs (宇宙刑事 Uchū Keiji?)
Word Preference[]
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 Nouns[]
- henshin- use 'transform'
- senshi- for Sentai rangers, use 'ranger' instead as established in Gokaiger
- gattai- use 'combination'
- taisen- use 'war' or 'wars', unless its an official Romanization for the title, such as Super Hero Taisen Z and all other sentai names.
Proper Nouns[]
- Show titles are typically translated unless Romanized officially.
