For the initial rating, I said it had no bad language, sex, or violence.
It got rejected for language (apparently, the first the reviewers do is try to use four-letter words).
So I changed the rating to "mild/infrequent" and it got rejected again.
Here's part of what I wrote to them after the second rejection:
"I'm not sure how to respond to your comment that the rating is inappropriate.
"Nihongo" is a Japanese dictionary.
As such, it contains some profanity, sexual content, etc. but the bulk of the content is not in that category."
That got no reply from Apple, so I went back, used the strongest possible rating (like Ninja Words, it's now rated 17+).
More than a month after it was first posted, it was approved for sale.
