I've noticed that you've changed some of my edit. You don't seem to know what I meant in using parenthesis. And because there were no one interested in Japanese and Korean words, it wasn't actually necessary to explain when I use [ ] and when ( ). But I think it's slowly the time to write something about it.

I've put most of the korean and japanese translations here. I made by myself one rule for editing korean and japanese translations. ( ) seem to be used for the transliterations with latin alphabets or phonetic help. So I put Hiragana's and Hangeul's in ( ), because Hiragana's and Hangeul's are phonetic in contrast to Chinese Characters. And because there are many Sino-Korean words,it is sometimes necessary to show the word origin by writing the chinese characters (In Korean lexicons, all Sino-korean words have their origin (chinese character) beside them. In this case I've used [ ]. But you've put Hiragana in [ ], which I think we need to distinguish from ( ).
