Translation - Japanese

Japanese

Japanese is the language spoken in Japan. There are over 127 million Japanese speakers. In addition to the inhabitants of the islands of Japan, there are small Japanese-speaking communities in other countries, such as Brazil or Peru.

Uses of Japanese

Even though it does not cover a huge area, the Japanese market is one of the most important in the world. Offering products labelled in Japanese or services in this language is key to making sales, since it is the mother tongue of a large part of the global population. To influence buyers, it’s vital to communicate with them in their own language and in their own context (by creating the right advertising for the local culture, etc.)

Linguistic quality

If you present a document written in a particular language, you want it to be accurate in terms of grammar, syntax and language use, but you also want it to sound natural and fluent to the reader. So, even if the text is already in the right language, it should be revised (or in our jargon: proofread) to ensure a high-quality result. Texts written in other languages and that need to be translated into Japanese should also be reviewed to ensure they meet the linguistic criteria of the target language.

This requires the services of language professionals with the right qualifications: with degrees in translation, or with demonstrable experience... there’s more than one way to do it. For Japanese, the best approach is to find professionals who are native speakers of this language.
