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 GokaigerIcon-crosswiki
  • 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.
