Help:Japanese

This page will teach you how to use a Nihongo Template to install Japanese characters. If you came here because you looked this up in the search bar because you didn't know how to add Nihongo or you clicked the little question mark near Japanese characters and wondered how to add them, you're in the right place! Now let's get to it:

Step 1: Go into Templates and add Nihongo.

Step 2: Open all three fields.

Step 3: In Field One, add the English Translation.

Step 4: In Field Two, add type in the word "Ruby" then add the Japanese characters and Furigana, the little Japanese characters on top of the bigger ones, and then end it. Now I'll show you how it should look when typing, as well as the final product.

Typing Version (In place of the paranthesis, add "{}"): ((Ruby|今日は|こんにち))

Final Product:

Step 5: In Field Three, add the pronunciation, known as Rо̄maji.

Tip And Additional Info:
