Over 90% of my clients (many from the US and Europe) have faced challenges with translators or agencies that didn’t grasp the cultural nuances critical to succeeding in Asia. I know you’re wondering—okay, so how are you different from them? 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄: I’ve been in the translation game for over 9 years, including 8 years living in Japan, where I immersed myself in the language and culture. Along the way, I’ve gotten burned by shaky linguists more times than I’d wish on anyone. That helped forge a bulletproof 'vetting process' to filter out only the most qualified, trustworthy translators and subtitlers in Asia. Unlike most other ‘𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗱' expert linguists, we have saved 100's of hours (lost in proofreading and correcting) and 1000's of dollars (wasted rehiring someone to fix the mess) for over 320 clients on Upwork. Our team of 200+ native linguists with specialized expertise in Asian markets like Japan, Korea, China, and more, goes beyond translation to localize your content, ensuring your story feels authentic and impactful to your Asian audience. You might be thinking, 'Words are cheap—where’s the proof?'
