Ebook: Japan Style Sheet - The SWET Guide for Writers, Editors and Translators

This guide has been compiled to assist writers, editors, and translators working on English-language publications related to Japan. It discusses problems that come up in connection with Japanese names and dates, and, most important, with the use of the Japanese language transcribed into the Latin alphabet. While it contains advice, information, and several appendices useful to translators and researchers in Japanese studies, it is mainly aimed at the needs of editors and writers without specialized knowledge of Japan or the Japanese language.
