Template:Nihongo

Template Documentation

{{Nihongo|<1>|<2>|<3>|<4>}} yields: <1> (<2>^?, <3>; lit. '<4>')

• <1> is rendered in Kurokane font.
• <2> (optional) is enclosed in a pair of parentheses that follow <1>. A superscripted question mark is appended to <2>; it links to wikipedia:Help:Multilingual support (East Asian) and helps readers with character set issues.
• <3> (optional) follows <2>, rendered italic.
• <4> (optional) follows <3>, indicating a literal translation.

This template is suitable for following occasions:

• Just pass a piece of text as <1>, if you just want it to be rendered in Kurokane. (This Kurokane word is made from {{Nihongo|Kurokane}})
• Pass an English name as <1>, a Japanese name as <2>, its rōmaji as <3> and its meaning as <4>. This is the usage recommended by Template:Nihongo on Wikipedia.
  • Example: {{Nihongo|Karate Man|カラテ家|Karateka}}
  • Output: Karate Man (カラテ家^?, Karateka).
• Pass a Latin transcription as <1>, a CJK name as <2> and its meaning as <4>, leaving <3> blank.
  • Example: {{Nihongo|Jiézòu Tiānguó: Qíjì Zhī Xīng|节奏天国 奇迹之星||Rhythm Heaven: Miracle Stars}}
  • Output: Jiézòu Tiānguó: Qíjì Zhī Xīng (节奏天国 奇迹之星^?; lit. 'Rhythm Heaven: Miracle Stars')
