What's new
文化 is now the fifth fully Japanese-translated department, catching Japanese up to Spanish's five-department coverage. Five pages, all in Japanese, on some of the site's most important context:
- 文化 (Culture) — the department hub.
- 簡潔で誠実な歴史 (A short, honest history) — from the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi through the 1893 overthrow to statehood.
- エチケットと良いゲストであること (Etiquette & being a respectful guest) — aloha ʻāina, sacred sites, and concrete visitor habits.
- フラの解説 (Hula, explained) — kahiko vs. ʻauana, and how to watch respectfully.
- レイの伝統 (Lei traditions) — what a lei represents and how to receive one correctly.
Same careful approach as Spanish
As with the Spanish translation, this section deals with sensitive material — the 1893 overthrow, sacred sites, living traditions — and we preserved the same directness and respect the English pages were written with, rather than a softened version.
Where the count stands
125 English pages. Spanish and Japanese each now cover five full departments (Plan, Stay, Islands, Food, Culture). French still covers four. Next up: catching French up to five, or a sixth department for Spanish or Japanese.
