	Jenna4093 picked -italicize every instance of a non-English word used, in and out of conversation: Definitely italicize. That will tell the reader that the word is in a different language. posted 一年多以前.

	zanhar1 picked -never italicize the words, but add a glossary: I would save footnotes for adding plot details and explanations that are needed at the time but can't be properly worked in. In which case I think a glossary is a good idea. posted 一年多以前. last edited 一年多以前
