Long-Term English-Japanese Translation ( Native Japanese needed)
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
This ongoing project involves translating a steady stream of English source material into natural, accurate Japanese. The texts come from a variety of fields—technical documents, marketing copy, and the occasional literary or creative piece—so you will need to be comfortable shifting tone and terminology as required. Some files may touch on engineering, medical, or IT topics; others may feature everyday business language or promotional flair.
Quality is paramount: every delivery should read as if originally written in Japanese, carry the intended nuance of the English, and respect any field-specific terminology that appears. I review all submissions for consistency, clarity, and cultural appropriateness, so please be ready to incorporate feedback and maintain an evolving project glossary.
Typical workflow
• I share source files (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, or occasionally PDF).
• You return the translated version in the same format, preserving layout and style.
• Turnaround expectations vary—some pieces are overnight, others span several days—but I always confirm deadlines in advance.
Acceptance criteria
• Native-level Japanese with flawless grammar and style.
• Faithful conveyance of meaning, tone, and technical accuracy.
• Consistent terminology throughout multi-part documents.
• Final file delivered on or before the agreed deadline.
If this sounds like a fit, let me know your usual weekly capacity and preferred CAT tools (if any). I’m ready to start with a paid test piece and, if all goes well, transition into regular assignments for the long term.
