Do you have a promising brand and want to go into the Japanese market? Did you know that It's not enough to just translate a website (or a text) straight from English to Japanese? There are two main reasons that most foreign Companies don't understand when Marketing to Japanese people, here they are: 1. Japanese people communicate differently. 2. Japanese people research (A LOT) before making any commitment to an unknown company. Also, I often see how the Tone of voice go missing in translation (even for famous brands). If you want a Japanese Copywriter that can understand your business, translate it and make Japanese people crave your products or services then you have found the right person ;) P.S. I have been living in the US, Australia and I am currently living in Malta (an English speaking country) I am new here on Upwork, but I have years of experience helping American and European companies successfully launch their businesses on the Japanese market.
