Translation is an art, not a science. I translate and interpret between Japanese, French, and English. Not from a desk, but from 4 years inside the Fukuoka Prefectural Government in Japan, handling official correspondence, interpretation, and documentation for approximately 110 international staff. I understand how Japanese institutions, professionals, and everyday people actually communicate, not the textbook version. My translation work spans institutional, legal, NGO, scientific, literary, and business texts across all three languages. Clients have included the World Health Organization (WHO), the American Red Cross, literary publishers, Room to Read, Smile Train, and Association Soeur Emmanuelle. I have also led team translation projects, including a 7,800-word historical document on 400 years of hidden Christian history in Fukuoka. This included managing shared glossaries, style guides, and consistency across a team of translators. Beyond institutional work, I translate manga (comedic and detective genres) and poetry, which requires a different kind of precision: capturing register, humour, and cultural subtext in a form where every word has to earn its space. I work with CAT tools (Memsource), hold a BA in French with Japanese from the University of Warwick, studied at Bordeaux Montaigne University (France) and Waseda University (Japan), and have lived and worked professionally in the UK, France, and Japan. If cultural nuance and reaching people emotionally matters to your project, I am happy to discuss it with you.
