Editorial Policy
Editorial Policy for Kotowaza.Jepang.org
This page explains how Japanese proverb entries are prepared, how reader-facing explanations are written, how processing tools are used, and how corrections are reviewed before public changes are published.
Kotowaza.Jepang.org is a learning reference, not an official dictionary, academic institution, or professional translation service. If you need support for academic decisions, publication, administration, or other high-risk work, verify with suitable dictionaries, corpora, teachers, or expert sources.
1. Editorial Scope
The site focuses on Japanese proverbs, their practical meaning, literal image, example usage, topics, situations, and equivalent proverbs that fit each page locale.
Each entry is treated as a learning reference that helps readers judge when a kotowaza fits, not as a final ruling for every context, dialect, or register.
2. Source and Evidence Limits
On this site, Kotowaza.Jepang.org does not present raw research files as public pages. Public entries are read from prepared site data that is built before publication.
We do not add etymology claims, origin history, or detailed cultural usage rules when the available data does not support them clearly enough. When evidence is thin, the explanation stays narrow.
3. The Kotowaza.Jepang.org Explanation Layer
Short meanings, practical explanations, nuance notes, examples, equivalent proverbs, topics, and situations on public pages are the Kotowaza.Jepang.org editorial layer. They are prepared for readers rather than shown as raw source text.
Equivalent proverbs are locale-specific. Indonesian, English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Japanese equivalents are not treated as one interchangeable list. Each language page shows equivalents reviewed for its own readers.
4. Processing and Publication
Kotowaza.Jepang.org may use processing tools to prepare draft explanations, data structure, or checks before publication. Tool use does not mean the output is automatically correct or published without review.
Search and public pages read prepared static data. The site does not generate or update content live when a page loads, does not enrich entries while you search, and does not scan the full raw research set on each request.
5. Review, Corrections, and Updates
Inaccurate meanings, stiff examples, wrong readings, doubtful equivalents, weak topic or situation grouping, and confusing public copy may be updated after review.
Reader reports help, but not every suggestion will be applied immediately. We do not promise a specific update time. To report a problem, use Corrections or email [email protected].
