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 ------------------------
