    ✔️Experienced English-Japanese Translator and Interpreter specializing in Translations and Proofreading with EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE. 👋Hello. I’m Kohei. I'm a translator and interpreter with over 12 years of experience. I'm fully bilingual and a native speaker of both English and Japanese and pride myself in offering professional and quality services. So if you need to accurately translate various types of documentation such as news articles, business e-mails, business contracts, legal documents, social media posts, video subtitles, research papers, government regulations, give me a shout! I have worked with ✨High Profile Clients/Organizations✨ in Japan, the USA, Canada, and the UK. Including the following to illustrate a few of them: ✅ Benesse ✅ Ajinomoto ✅ Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Fisheries (MAFF) ✅ US Army Corps of Engineers ✅ Naha District Prosecutor's Office ✅ Naha Tourism Association ☕️WHY CHOOSE ME OVER OTHER FREELANCERS?☕️ 🔹Responsiveness: I have been working remotely for over 7 years now so I understand the importance of regular and quick communication. As a client of Upwork myself, I've been burned one too many times by "hey sorry, I'll hand it in tomorrow." Deadlines are as important to me as they are to you. I avoid unrealistic deadlines and will be upfront about what I can handle. 🔹English Literacy Efficiency: Although technically my second language, English is one of the languages I am most comfortable with, as I have spent most of my life speaking English growing up in Ottawa, Canada. I did my schooling in Ottawa from elementary school to college in English and French. I got my TESOL certificate to teach conversational English, and have been doing so for over ten years in Okinawa, Japan, as well as translating. 🔹Japanese Literacy Efficiency: Japanese is my mother tongue. I was born in Okinawa and moved to Canada at a young age. There, I kept my language skill by going to Japanese hoshuko, as well as by reading and watching Japanese literature and media. In my mid-20s, I moved to Okinawa where I have been able to use my language skills to make a living for myself and my family. Eventually, I was able to start my own business in Okinawa which requires a lot of administrative and customer relation work, almost all of which require a high-level of Japanese proficiency. 🔹Extensive Experience: I have been a translator and interpreter for over 12 years working in English to Japanese and Japanese to English. Experienced working with high-profile clients/organizations and received great positive feedback. Wide range of translation fields: Education, Food Regulations, Games, Legal, Technical, Medical, and Social Media Marketing. 🔹Project Manager: I can manage large translation projects by hiring other translators. The MAFF project mentioned above involved over 7 translators from all over Japan and over 50 documents - all of which were about 60 pages in length! 🔹Other Skills: -Graphic design -Adobe Illustrator -Adobe Photoshop -Aegisub 🙋‍♂️I look forward to working with you, to provide reliable, consistent, and high-level translations and interpretations. Please contact me so we can discuss how we can work together to FULLY meet your business needs!

    Welcome to my Upwork Profile. I am a professional Japanese translator, interpreter, subtitler, writer, and cultural/travel consultant who holds a BA in East Asian Languages and Cultures and an MA in Global Studies. I have lived, studied, and worked in Japan for eight years, including two years studying at the prestigious Sophia University in Tokyo, as well as four years teaching English on the JET Program in rural Fukushima Prefecture, during which time I often served as an interpreter for the local government and board of education. I have engaged in translation work for over ten years, and have worked successfully with hundreds of clients on thousands of projects ranging from website translation to company white pages and business documents, to translations of movies, television series, books, manga, and well beyond. In-person or via video call, my interpretation work has included work with numerous Japanese and US companies on a wide variety of projects. My client roster has included many major companies, some of which are household names, as well as small businesses and one-on-one personal clients. Additionally, my experiences with language learning and historical and cultural studies as well as my extensive experience in world travel have led to appearances at speaking events, popular podcasts, and major news media. I also write historical articles that cover lesser-known aspects of Japanese history and the focal points where Japanese culture meets with that of the outside world, and serve as the editor-in-chief of the popular Japanese culture website Unseen Japan. In addition to all this, I also provide Japan travel consultation, using my deep experience in travel in-country to help craft travel itineraries that fit my client's preferred travel style. I'm also available to accompany travelers to Japan in order to provide Japanese language assistance and historical-cultural information during their time in the county. If you’re interested in obtaining my services for any of my above-listed skills, please do not hesitate to get in contact. I promise quick, professional, detailed work, and I look forward to any future collaborations we may have.

    My good friend once complimented regarding my translation, saying: "your translated sentences turn out really nice even if I put it back on Google Translate. I mean, even better than if I were to take random but formal Japanese or English texts from the internet and do the same. How to say... your words flow smoothly, like crystal clear stream." He was a little poetic, but I think that's saying something about my skills. I am a bilingual translator of Japanese and English, offering more than 5 years of experience in writing and translating in business. I have lived overseas most of my life, native in both English and Japanese with high social skills. My translating experience includes anything related to... - Importing and exporting - Medical needles and syringes - ISO (specifically ISO:13485 and ISO:9001) - Business contracts such as quality agreement and purchase agreement - General e-mail and conversational material Since I have experience of foreign and Japanese cultures, I am confident my work skills exceed just simple word-to-word translation, and am able to read between lines and deliver something that is more heart-felt quality. I believe, when boiled down, that is what brings "good" translation for smooth communication; not something an automated translation can do. On the side note I absolutely love to play video games (so much love for SNES) and I can talk for hours about it. I also love music and I listen to basically anything from Rammstein to Venetian Snares to Great Big Sea. For more information please feel free to contact me. I am open to anything and will be more than happy to help you.

    Translation is as much an art as it is a skill. It requires not only exceptional linguistic proficiency but also a deep understanding of cultural and social nuances in both languages. Successful translation demands a keen eye for detail, thorough research, and critical thinking to ensure the message resonates as intended. Having worked as a translation evaluator and proofreader, I’ve observed firsthand that the market is crowded with freelance translators whose proficiency varies widely. In particular, Japanese requires careful crafting and precision to fully optimize its business value and streamline processes. My mission is to provide clients with translations that are not only accurate but also intuitive and impactful. By tailoring each project to the specific needs of the business, I ensure that communication flows seamlessly, enhancing both efficiency and trust. ------------------------ SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE BUSINESS - Support effective business communication with Japanese companies - Consultation service for licensing businesses - Marketing Research ENTERTAINMENT - Subtitle Translation, Editing, Proofreading (Film, TV series, interviews, etc) - Music related projects (Knowledge in Music Business, Music Theory, and Music History) - Game localization (Experience in game licensing businesses) PHARMACEUTICAL - Medical Translation (patient and doctor interviews and clinical research) TECHNICAL - Software and App localization CAT TOOLS - Smartling - Memsource - MateCat ------------------------

    I'm a native Japanese translator living in Tokyo, Japan. I translate English ⇔ Japanese. I have translated a wide variety of content, including advertisements, games, websites, research, technical, and medical documents, etc. I have translated a very wide variety of content, including advertisements, emails, websites, apps, blogs, videos, books, contracts, official documents, technical and medical documents, and more. **<My skills>** - Translation (Text, Websites, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, Google Docs, Spreadsheets) - Code translation (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Java, Python, PHP, GO, Node.js, Ruby, etc.) - Transcreation - Transcription of Japanese (Audio and video files, mp3, mp4 files) - Subtitling (SRT) - Proofreading, checking - Voice recording, narration, voice acting - I have a skill that other translators don't have, which is that I can develop my own tools that are specialized for each project. Therefore, if you continue to request projects from me, my work speed will increase to several times faster than that of an average translator. **<About subtitling>** I can make SRT files or burn subtitles directly onto a video. If you need English subtitles for a Japanese video, just send me the Japanese video. I'll handle everything from transcription, translation, to burning subtitles onto the video. In terms of workload, the highest recorded so far is 14 hours of video in a week, so you don't have to wait long. You can also ask me for proofreading, Japanese transcription, and writing.

How to Hire Top English to Japanese Translators

What is an English to Japanese translator?

Working with clients and customers in Japan often requires having access to someone who is skilled in English-to-Japanese translation. There are many ways language translation services can be useful for your organization, whether it’s transcription services, translation of legal documents, or direct verbal translation.

How do you hire an English-to-Japanese translator?

You can source English-to-Japanese translator talent on Upwork by following these three steps:

  • Write a project description. You’ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in an English to Japanese translator.
  • Post it on Upwork. Once you’ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
  • Shortlist and interview English-to-Japanese translators. Once the proposals start coming in, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview. 

Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of English-to-Japanese translator you need to complete your project. 

How much does it cost to hire an English-to-Japanese translator?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced English-to-Japanese translator may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their English-to-Japanese translating services more competitively. 

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project. 

How do you write an English-to-Japanese translator job post?

Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

Job post title

Create a simple title that describes exactly what you’re looking for. The idea is to target the keywords that your ideal candidate is likely to type into a job search bar to find your project. Here are some sample English-to-Japanese translator job post titles:

  • Need someone fluent in Japanese to translate business documents from English
  • Looking for expert in Japanese language and culture to help with movie script
  • Need Japanese speaker to accompany me to Tokyo for education conference

Project description

An effective English to Japanese translator job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From reading and writing in both English and Japanese to understanding Japanese culture, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, events, or documents, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
