FAQ
Translation services: frequently asked questions
How are native translation and native-speaker review different?
Native translation means translating into the translator’s native language. Native-speaker review is a separate check of wording, tone and readability in the target language. The review steps included depend on your selected service package and quote.
Who will be translating my documents?
Native-speaking translators and subject specialists support Japanese, English and Asian-language projects. We confirm the target language, translator and review requirements when scoping your project.
What kinds of documents do you translate?
We translate a wide range of materials, including legal contracts, patents, business reports, technical manuals, marketing content, immigration documents, and more. Whether it’s a certified translation or internal communication, we tailor our service to your needs.
Do you offer languages other than Japanese?
Yes. In addition to Japanese, we provide professional translation services in Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Malay, Tagalog, Chinese, Korean, Hindi, and several European languages. Each language pair is handled by native linguists for accuracy and cultural relevance.
How do you ensure translation quality?
Every project goes through a 3-step QA process: translation by a native expert → review by a second linguist → final QA check using professional tools. We also use translation memory, termbases, and style guides to ensure consistency and accuracy.
Can you handle technical or legal content?
Absolutely. Our team includes translators specializing in IP law, engineering, medicine, IT, finance, and regulatory documentation. We understand how critical precision is for such materials and follow strict terminology control.
How fast can I get a quote?
We aim to reply within 30 minutes during business hours. Quote timing depends on project scope.
Is my data safe with you?
Yes. We strictly adhere to non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and use secure file handling systems. Your files are only accessed by authorized personnel and are stored in encrypted, access-controlled environments.
Can you handle multilingual projects in one go?
Yes, that’s one of our strengths. We offer multilingual project management, where you can submit one project covering several languages, and we keep formatting, terminology and delivery consistent across every version.
What is the difference between the Speed, Quality and Premium packages?
Speed is a single-step translation for internal, large or urgent projects. Quality adds a check and proofreading (TEP) and preserves the original layout. Premium adds full proofreading, consistency, terminology and layout review for legal, marketing or publication-level content.
What does TEP mean in translation?
TEP stands for Translation, Editing and Proofreading. A translator produces the translation, an editor compares it with the source for grammar, style and accuracy, and a proofreader performs the final consistency and quality checks.
How much does a translation cost?
The price depends on the language pair, the package and the volume. The translation rate table on this page shows our rates, and you can request a quote: we aim to reply within 30 minutes during business hours; quote timing depends on project scope.
Do you provide certified translation?
We handle both certified and standard translation, including immigration and official documents. Tell us the requirements of the receiving authority when you request a quote.
Which languages do you translate from and into?
We translate from Japanese and English into major Asian languages including Korean, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese and Indonesian, as well as Malay, Tagalog, Khmer, Lao, Burmese, Hindi, Urdu, Tamil and Nepali. Each language is handled by native-speaking linguists.
