Japanese Content Localization Specialist – Sake Brewing & Cultural History
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
We are looking for a native Japanese translator and researcher to localize a detailed English guide on the art and science of sake brewing (日本酒造り). The content delves into the history, regional variations (e.g., the differences between sake from Niigata vs. Hiroshima), and the intricate brewing process.
Your task is to adapt this content for a Japanese audience, ensuring the translation is not only accurate but also culturally resonant and rich with native terminology.
Key Responsibilities
Translate technical brewing terms accurately (e.g., "koji mold" → "麹菌", "polishing ratio" → "精米歩合").
Adapt historical anecdotes and regional descriptions to be engaging for Japanese readers who may already be familiar with the basics.
Ensure the tone is respectful and informative, matching the style of Japanese cultural documentation.
Verify the accuracy of dates, historical figures, and brewery names.
Ideal Candidate Profile
Native-level Japanese fluency with strong English comprehension.
A personal or professional interest in Japanese traditional crafts, sake, history, or gastronomy.
Research skills to verify historical and technical details.
Ability to write in a style that is both precise and engaging
