Japanese Translation Services

Japanese translation service is on a rebound with Japanese companies benefitting from the decline in oil prices and strong economic strengthening policies. The demand for Japanese Translation Service is also increasing with the increase in exports due to the depreciating Yen.

All seems upbeat. But how do Japanese translation service help businesses in general?

Japanese translation service assists businesses in the export and import of goods. In addition, companies engage Japanese translation service in localising their operations and disseminating information to the locals about their products and services.

Japanese translation service providers continue to serve importing companies in Japan, whereby Japanese translation service is used to introduce overseas international brands into the Japanese market. Global luxury goods such as LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, Kering and Cie Financière Richemont find their way into the Japanese market via English to Japanese translation service.

Japanese Companies also engage Japanese translation service providers to translate their product manuals and marketing materials into English for exports of their products and services.  Other services relating to Japanese translation service can refine the final products of translations as well. Such complimentary Japanese translation service includes Japanese Typesetting and Graphic design; and Japanese Voiceovers and Subtitling, to captivate the audiences with delightful artwork or voiced videos. Once the Japanese translation service providers have provided the translation, the translated scripts can be inserted or voiced into their selected media.

Apart from using Japanese translation Service for imports and exports of goods, foreign companies have planted their branches in Japan to leverage on established Research and Development centres. With the help of Japanese translation Service providers, these foreign based branches are able to keep their eye on developments in Japanese innovations. Examples of Japanese innovations for which Japanese translation Service providers have help to share to the world, are technologies relating to hybrid vehicles and mini vehicles. Recently, Japanese translation Service providers have helped in the introduction of the research and development of technologies relating to the “reduction of carbon dioxide emissions” and “intuitive driving” in Japan.

An important point to note is that most Japanese documents that require Japanese translation Service involve heavy technical terms, including scientific, technological and legal terms. These types of documents require a Japanese translation Service provider, preferably a global translation company, that has sufficient resources e.g. talented and competent Japanese translators, proofreaders and editors in various technical fields. A Japanese translation Service providing company that is based in an environment where there are established education system promoting both English and Japanese languages such as Singapore would be an ideal Japanese translation Service provider. It is interesting to note that many Singaporeans make excellent Japanese translation Service providers as it is common for them to have studied English and Japanese and to have worked in Japan.

As Japan makes an economic recovery, so will its research & developments contribute more to the rest of the world.  There are still room for more overseas companies to forge relations with Japanese companies. Perhaps a Japanese translation service provider can facilitate the process?

Although the above article appeals to those who are interested in Japanese translation Service and it is just an opinion, I hope it will provide an idea about Japanese translation Service and which Japanese translation Service to engage.

Japanese Translation Services

As a Marketing Manager, promoting retail products to the Japanese, I often look for Japanese translation services providers for my collaterals.  Over the years, I have come to know more about getting a good Japanese translation services provider as mention below.

My first assignment was to get “anyone who can provide good Japanese translation services”, said my boss. It sounded easy…but it was a real challenge to find such a person. I finally found a Chinese who said he could do Japanese translation services and convinced me that Japanese and Chinese were similar. Really? I later learnt that wasn’t entirely true at all. Although, the Japanese language uses Chinese characters, Japanese has different sets of grammar rules e.g. there are many types of conjugations for different types of verbs. As you would have guessed, the Japanese translation services were of poor quality and sounded unnatural to my Japanese customers.

For the following assignment, I thought I was better prepared. This time, I engaged a native to provide the Japanese translation services. That was also a disaster, he hadn’t the slightest clue as to what I wanted! After going through several Japanese translation services provider, I observed that most Japanese are not sufficiently proficient in English. This is simply because very few Japanese speak languages other than Japanese, even up to today! So, I decided to engage the professional Japanese translation services company. It was a relieved to hear from my counterpart in Japan that the Japanese translation services were well provided. He was also kind to add a few comments to help me understand why.

Apparently, the excellent quality of the Japanese translation services seems to suggest that thoughtful considerations were taken to include the context of Japanese culture in providing the Japanese translation services. I was also pleased to hear that the translation was flawless and the intended message was well executed by the Japanese translation services provider.

As the volume of work increased with our expanded customer base and widen marketing campaigns we continued to use our trusted Japanese translation services company in Malaysia. Here are some of the reasons.

Only a well established translation services company in Malaysia provide better Japanese translation services because they:

1)      have more experienced & English proficient Japanese translators

2)      have a larger pool of native Japanese translators

3)      have proofreaders and editors who are able to minimise translation errors

4)      can handle larger volumes of work

5)      can deliver express jobs

6)      can do other language pairs other than with English (including Japanese to Malay translation)

Engaging a Japanesetranslation services provider was a painful learning process for me and I hope that no one would have to go through the same situation that I had to.
