Our talented Japanese linguists

All translation work is conducted by highly qualified translators. We ensure that each individual project is undertaken by the most suitable Japanese translator whose educational and professional background matches the project in hand.  This is why we are able to tackle material as diverse as a mobile device advertising campaign, legal contracts, patient information leaflets, technical manuals, website localisation projects and doctor’s reports.

The performance of our translators is assessed against key performance criteria: accuracy, consistency, knowledge of subject terminology, formatting and completeness. Their submissions are monitored by our quality team to ensure high standards are maintained.

With the exception of linguists covering languages with rare status, as a minimum, our translators:

• must have a relevant first degree, postgraduate qualification or corresponding qualification
• are able to demonstrate a number of years full time work in an appropriate field.

We assign a project manager to every assignment to ensure the project runs smoothly and is delivered on time and within budget.

While you’re here… some quite interesting facts about the Japanese language.

Japanese is the official language of Japan, which has a population of over 125m. There are also around 2.5m people of Japanese origin, many of whom speak Japanese as their first language, living in Brazil and the rest of the Americas, particularly the United States. You’ll also find a sizeable expatriate presence in major cities such as London, New York and Paris. Getting used to Japanese grammar can be a bit tricky because of the word order: subject, object, verb. Great if you’re used to other languages such as German or Turkish which have similar word orders, but possibly a little confusing for English speakers unfamiliar with it. So, the verb is placed at the end, meaning a simple sentence like “I watch television” would be “I television watch”.
