Translation, editing and interpretation

Everything we do sits between Japanese and English. For interpretation we also work between Japanese and three Indian languages.

Translation

Japanese to English, English to Japanese

Send files in whatever format you have them. We return the translation in the same format, so tables, slides and layouts stay usable.

Typical material includes technical manuals, software and product specifications, contracts, patents, medical papers, corporate documents, marketing copy and websites. We also provide certified translations of official documents.

Editing and proofreading

Checking a translation you already have

These checks are also built into every translation we deliver. You can order them separately for work done elsewhere.

Editing against the source

We compare the translation with the original and correct errors of meaning, omissions and terminology.

Target-language proofreading

We read the translated text on its own, without the source, and fix what a native reader would trip over.

Back translation

We translate the translation back into the original language so you can see for yourself what it says.

Interpretation

An interpreter in the room, or on the line

We provide consecutive interpreting, where the interpreter speaks after each speaker pauses, and simultaneous interpreting, where the interpreter speaks while the speaker continues. Both are available on site; consecutive interpreting is also available over the phone.

Language pairs

  • Japanese and English
  • Japanese and Kannada
  • Japanese and Tamil
  • Japanese and Hindi

Where we interpret

  • Boardroom meetings
  • Shop-floor work with visiting Japanese engineers
  • Machinery installation and commissioning
  • Training sessions
  • Negotiations

For an assignment, tell us the dates, the location, the subject and how many people will be speaking.

Larger jobs

Project management for high volumes

For large or recurring work we prepare a glossary, maintain a translation memory and keep terminology consistent from the first file to the last.

Send us the Japanese. Get back English that reads right.
