Japanese to English translation
English to Japanese translation is a complex task which must reflect the multi-faceted nature of Japanese society in order to deliver the best service possible. That's why our linguists atToday Translations are culturally minded professionals who understand the nuances of Japanese interpreting and translation.
Providing accurate English to Japanese translations, and Japanese to English translations, is a highly refined skill and, at Today Translations, we aim for accuracy, localisation and the highest standard of service. As a Japanese to English translator, having merely a good command of the Japanese language will not be enough. What is required is an intimate knowledge of the language, culture and philosophy.
The translation of Japanese to English is also complicated nowadays due to differences between traditional and modern Japanese. Traditional Japanese is written in vertical columns and is read from top to bottom, and left to right. Modern Japanese format, though, is read horizontally from left to right.
Japanese to English and English to Japanese translations for print
A Japanese translator will know that translation from English to Japanese can result in the size of the text growing by half. Similarly, the size of Japanese to English translations can contract by the same margin. At Today Translations, we always take this into account when doing Japanese translation for print.
It is vital that any typesetting required for your published documents is handled by a native Japanese speaker. They must be aware of the relevant linguistic nuances and be able to handle formatting issues without adversely affecting the message communicated by the text.
