![]() | This is the template sandbox page for Template:Nihongo3 (diff). See also the companion subpage for test cases. |
![]() | This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS. |

This template is basically the same as {{Nihongo}}, except that it reverses the order of the English and Rōmaji items' display, and relies on a little bit of manual formatting for italics and quotation marks; its handling of Kanji (and/or Kana) is the same as that of {{Nihongo}}.
This template is useful when one is addressing a Japanese term directly instead of providing a Japanese translation for an English one, i.e. 'Japanese term in Rōmaji (Kanji version, "English translation")', instead of 'English term (Kanji version, Japanese translation in Rōmaji)'.
Syntax:
{{Nihongo3|<english>|<kanji/kana>|<rōmaji>|<extra>|<extra2>}}
|
Parameters:
extra=
extra2=
. It is only useful in ";" definitions (extra2 will be displayed without bold, whereas text following the template will get the bold).This template marks the Kanji
segment as being in Japanese Kanji, which helps web browsers display it correctly. It also applies the t_nihongo_kanji
CSS style class to it.
Parameters 1, 2 and 3 are required, but the first may be blank (e.g. if the Kanji/Kana and Rōmaji are known but the English is not, use {{Nihongo3||<{{var|kanji/kana}}>|<{{var|rōmaji}}>}}
. Using the template without the Rōmaji and Kanji version is essentially pointless, and will result in a useless or worse-than-useless display. Parameters 4 and 5 can also be directly invoked with |extra=
and |extra2=
. Parameter |extra2=
is useful only in ";" definitions (|extra2=
's content will be displayed without bold, whereas text following the template will get the bold); see below for a concrete example.
Please note:
See examples below for usage hints.
Code | {{Nihongo3|Western: '''Motojiro Kajii'''|梶井 基次郎|'''Kajii Motojirō'''|1901–1932}}
|
Gives | Kajii Motojirō (梶井 基次郎, Western: Motojiro Kajii, 1901–1932) |
With extra2
:
Code |
|
Gives |
|
The extra2
parameter can be used for links, reference footnote citations, etc.
Without extra2
(and probably not the desired effect):
Code |
|
Gives |
|
Example of usage when it is not clear from the context that Japanese is the language in question:
Code |
|
Gives |
yotsudama (四つ球, Japanese for 'four balls') |
Do not use Japanese: 'English version'
for a case like this, as this colon formatting is used by Wikipedia language templates to indicate that the material that follows the colon is in the language mentioned before the colon, and this different use of this formatting will confuse readers. Use "for" or some other clear wording instead. Also, do not use {{Lang-ja|"English version"}}
(which renders as Japanese: "English version"); this even more explicitly signals that the material following the language name is in that language, and the text will appear (as it does in that example) in a different font.
User style can be set by adding code similar to
or
to common.css.
This template emits one error message of its own:
One of the positional parameters <kanji/kana>
({{{2}}}
), the 'Japanese' referred to in the error message or <rōmaji>
({{{3}}}
) is required for proper operation of this template. Articles with these errors are collected in Category:Nihongo template errors (1).
This error often occurs because the template is malformed:
{{Nihongo3|東京タワー}}
instead of {{Nihongo3||東京タワー}}
; 東京タワー is in {{{1}}}
(<english>
) instead of {{{2}}}
(<kanji/kana>
). To resolve this error, add the missing pipe (|
) or consider using {{lang}}
or {{transl}}
Because this template uses {{lang}}
and {{transl}}
which emit their own error messages, see the help text for those at:
{{lang}}
{{transl}}
Like {{Nihongo}} but lists '''rōmaji''' first
