Japanese Resources

If you are interested in learning Japanese and contributing to translations for Puyo Puyo or Puyo Puyo!! Quest, here are some learning resources that may be useful:

  • Tofugu - A database with resources to help learn basic reading, writing, and grammar.
  • Jisho - A Japanese-to-English dictionary.
  • Weblio - A Japanese-to-English dictionary and encyclopedia. Intended for Japanese speakers, but can still be used by English speakers.

Crediting Translations

If you are adding someone else's translations to Puyo Nexus and they do not have a wiki account, please obtain written permission from them before uploading and clearly credit them somewhere on the page. Please also include that you are adding someone else's translation in the page update summary. If they requested a link back to their own site where they host the translation, you can link to external sites on Puyo Nexus with the following syntax:

[https://google.com external url]

... which will look like this: external url.

More information about citation and page formatting can be found on our disclaimers and contents page.
