|appearance=Much of her hair is covered by a hood attached to a ruffled capelet with a dark beige scale pattern. The ruffles, as well as the ribbon it has, are a light blue in coloration - the hood is dark blue, has a scale pattern, and glowing yellow "eyes".
She has blue eyes with highlights, indicating that her species is not extinct, and also has blue lipstick.
She has a dark brown shirt with blue, puffy and ruffled sleeves, which fade into a beige at the end. She has a dark blue corsed, and a large frilled skirt with the same pattern and coloration as  the capelet.  She has dark blue bloomers tied with blue ribbons that fade into beige.
She wears blue ribboned mary janes.
Like all Friends, she has traits of her original animal species alongside her human body - in her case, this manifests as a large Komodo Dragon tail.


The original is similar - however, her hair is a light brown, the hood has blue frills and does not have any sort of expression within the eyes, the capelet is the same color as the hood, which is blue, her skirt has three layers and lacks the scale pattern, and she has blue stockings. Her sleeves are not puffed and are a grayish blue with no color variation. Her shoes also had a single string instead of one, and no ribbons.

Her tail was not blue, and did not have a white underside. She also has blue nail polish.

This set of policies is currently a draft. While it should not be considered official policy as of yet, it still reflects the general attitudes of Japari Library on the covered topics and should be followed.
Icon chara 0011 04.png This article details an official policy on Japari Library.
The policies contained in this page are to be followed when editing Japari Library and are not to be broken without direct permission from a member of wiki staff.

The translation policy for Japari Library concerns the manner with which translated materials should be handled, including the usage of machine translation and other translation best practices.

General

Most materials for Kemono Friends are originally written in Japanese. When translating from Japanese to English, Japari Library strives to have the original Japanese text present in some form. There are multiple reasons why this is the case:

  • The high density of untranslated Kemono Friends media means that having the Japanese text present is a reliable source of canon.
  • Keeping the Japanese text makes it easier to verify the accuracy of the translation.
  • Keeping Japanese text makes it easier for prospective translators to find the original text in need of translation.
  • Some readers of Japari Library are Japanese fans that use it as a resource, and including the Japanese text makes Japari Library a better resource for them.

Japari Library uses revised Hepburn for romanization of Japanese and Hanyu Pinyin for romanization of Chinese dialects. For Japanese, macrons are used when romanizing rather than long-vowel forms, i.e. ō rather than ou or oo.

Translations are still subject to the style guide of the Manual of Style.

Machine Translation

Machine translation is disallowed on Japari Library in all cases. This applies to translations of all sizes from simple one-word terms to entire transcripts. If unable to translate a particular passage, editors should seek help from someone who is able to do so, rather than attempt to pass off machine translation as their own by rewording it. Never include a "placeholder" translation, whether made through a machine or made through inexperienced guesswork.

Transcripts

Transcripts are taken from either English or Japanese releases, and preferably both if available. Transcripts are rarely if ever taken from other sources, but for Kemono Friends Kingdom, the original Chinese script should be used in place of the Japanese.

Best Practice

No translation often is better than a poor translation, even if counterintuitive to think so. Avoid attempting to translate materials using machines or through pure guesswork. If a page is tagged for needing a translation, it is a call for individuals that have experience with translating to work on the task. Editors are never expected to be good at every skill and leaving translation fields empty is perfectly acceptable as it encourages those with the skill to work on a page. It is often discouraging to re-translate text that another editor has translated previously, even if the previous translation is of low quality.
