Hello, My name is Moe, and I am a native Japanese speaker currently residing in England. I have a background in hospitality, having worked as a translator and guest relations officer at a five-star luxury resort, where I specialized in Japanese-English translation. Currently, I am employed by a Japanese online teaching platform, providing language support for non-Japanese speakers worldwide. In addition to this, I have over five years of freelance experience in industrial translations, covering a variety of materials such as articles, comic books, questionnaires, and presentation documents. As I work from home, I am able to respond promptly and efficiently. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you. Thank you for your consideration. Best regards, Moe

Clear, natural translation that reads as though it were originally written in the target language. I am a professional translator and proofreader working between English, French and German.

Hi everyone! My name is Itsuki Yoshida. I am working as a freelance designer/Japanese-English interpreter & translator based in the UK. I have been working as a freelance interpreter/translator since 2017. I am a native Japanese speaker and a fluent English speaker. To prove my English skill, I have obtained an IELTS overall 6.5 scores in 2016, with that score I studied in a master's degree in the UK and graduated in 2017. I can confidently say that I am a flawless Japanese speaker who can express a bit more than ordinarily native Japanese speakers can do, as I have a deep interest and curiosity to the Japanese language. I translate the writings' contexts rather than translating literally as the Japanese language's grammatical structure is more flexible than English, and also some words are used in a different sense from the literal meaning of them. I always enjoy this process to make the translation more accurate. As I usually get one-time projects from clients, I have experienced in diverse subjects. Here are highlights of my experiences: 1. I have worked as a freelance project manager/ Japanese-English translator for RED BEE (at BBC Broadcast Centre) and I always provided an accurate translation & proofreading for their TV programs. I was also in charge of interpreting information from Japanese to English for my colleagues. 2. I have diverse experiences in translation & interpretation from a sales meeting to medical interview as a freelancer. My duty is a translation, proofreading (Email, presentation etc) and interpretation, depending on the clients' requirement I work holistically. *The list of experiences are available on my portfolio. 3. I have worked in two event management companies as a project manager and I was mainly in charge of projects that are related to my language skills. I was also in charge of translation/proofreading of documents that are related to their events, and also, I was in charge of translation from Japanese to English for the web-advertisement and marketing projects. (Banner, SNS, and brochure etc.) I can edit documents on Adobe Photoshop/Illustratior/ Indesign/Premiere and Microsoft Word/Powerpoint/Excel. I'm looking forward to working with you! Kind regards, Itsuki Yoshida
