Introduction: I am a native Japanese speaker who was born and raised in Japan. I have been working as a translator for a company since 2011. I also took a correspondence course in business translation in 2014 and in patent translation in 2015. I can translate from Japanese to English or from English to Japanese. My fields of translation include industrial technology & machine, instruction manuals, procedures, business documents, science, spiritual and healing. I also welcome any challenges or interpretation work! Just let me know what you are looking for. My pricing is reasonable and I can work with you on the payment.

Masako has shared some of her translations with me, and she has always provided clear, concise and accurate work. She is very timely and efficient with all of her assignments and responsibilities.

Japanese Translation

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
1. When I receive a document to translate, I skim through the document and determine if I can finish the job by the due date. If I determine it is not possible, I let the client know immediately. 2. When I decide to take on the job, I save a backup copy of the document and check the word count. If the job rate is not specified, I make a quotation based on the word count of the original document and its difficulty. 3. Read it through to grasp meanings of the contents. Do research for the technical terminology and contents by using online search engines, technical books, etc. 4. Translate one sentence at a time to prevent omission. If there are any comments, fill out in another form. 5. Make a review on the following day if time allows. Correct or modify phrases to improve the sentence structure.
