japanese translation
If you simply want the gist of a Japanese webpage or to translate a simple phrase, a basic literal translation from a Japanese translator may suffice – there are even online machine translations that can handle Japanese translations.
But what if translating to or from Japanese underpins the success of your next marketing campaign, expansive commercial literature or a legal document? With so much at stake, including your reputation, can you afford to trust those cheap basic translations?
More than just a Japanese translation
A properly done translation is actually about much more than just a literal translation. Your translator should take into account the subtleties of local dialect when they translate Japanese, as well as the cultural and social considerations relating to where in the country your translation will be used. When even the biggest global brands can fall foul of bad translation, it makes sense to entrust yours to a specialised translator offering services such as these:
- Accurate translation by skilled mother-tongue Japanese translators.
- Thorough Japanese localisation.
- Branding and marketing advice to support our Japanese translation services.
- DTP, typesetting and other services to ensure polished documentation.
- Proven in-house quality and project management systems.
- Advice and support on all your Japanese translation needs.

Respecting the subtleties of Japanese language and culture
It may not be the cheapest way to get a Japanese language translation but it's a sure way to guarantee a finished result that accurately conveys the message you originally crafted while respecting the subtleties of the Japanese language and culture (localisation is a separate fee payable service to just translation).

Background |
In 1603, after decades of civil warfare, the Tokugawa shogunate (a military-led, dynastic government) ushered in a long period of relative political stability and isolation from foreign influence. For more than two centuries this policy enabled Japan to enjoy a flowering of its indigenous culture. Japan opened its ports after signing the Treaty of Kanagawa with the US in 1854 and began to intensively modernize and industrialize. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Japan became a regional power that was able to defeat the forces of both China and Russia. It occupied Korea, Formosa (Taiwan), and southern Sakhalin Island. In 1931-32 Japan occupied Manchuria, and in 1937 it launched a full-scale invasion of China. Japan attacked US forces in 1941 - triggering America's entry into World War II - and soon occupied much of East and Southeast Asia. After its defeat in World War II, Japan recovered to become an economic power and an ally of the US. While the emperor retains his throne as a symbol of national unity, elected politicians hold actual decision-making power. Following three decades of unprecedented growth, Japan's economy experienced a major slowdown starting in the 1990s, but the country remains a major economic power. In January 2009, Japan assumed a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council for the 2009-10 term. |
