Yes i'm aware that i've been posting multiples messages in a row in htis, but what is the most reliable translator? I use Yandex translator, but i believe it has the same reliability as Google Translate. Also, i've seen names in Hiragana using this ー , see Balloon Teresa. Also, when it comes to loanwords, are they ever written in Hiragana? --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 05:57, August 20, 2019 (EDT) | Yes i'm aware that i've been posting multiples messages in a row in htis, but what is the most reliable translator?

::1. Online translators generally aren't very accurate, I'd recommend cross-referencing Japanese words with a dictionary in case something was lost. | |||
::2. The ''chōonpu'' is sometimes used in hiragana for stylistic reasons (such as 「らーめん」), though this is unusual. In the case of ''Barūn Teresa'' however, the word 「ばるーん」 is simply a transliteration of the English word "balloon", which would normally be written in katakana as 「バルーン」. For reasons unknown (probably a stylistic choice), they wrote it in hiragana instead but kept the ''chōonpu'', instead of changing the spelling to 「ばるうん」 or something. | |||
::3. I've seen it before (see above), probably just as a stylistic choice. | |||
