Project details

I proofread and polish Japanese text so it reads naturally, clearly, and consistently to Japanese readers—without changing your intended meaning.

This is a good fit if you want to make sure your Japanese content sounds natural, clear, and ready to publish, especially when it was translated, AI-generated, machine-translated, or prepared in-house. If you have an English source, I can also compare it with the Japanese to catch meaning drift, omissions, tone issues, and phrasing that may sound translated.

Best for
• Websites, articles, help pages, and product pages
• AI-generated or machine-translated Japanese
• Business documents and longer Japanese text
• UI strings, app/web copy, buttons, labels, and short messages

What I focus on
• Natural grammar, wording, and flow
• Consistent terminology, tone, punctuation, and spacing
• Clearer Japanese while preserving the original meaning and tone
• Brief notes or questions only when needed

You’ll receive a clean, ready-to-use Japanese version in Word, Google Docs, or Sheets, with Track Changes, Suggesting mode, or comments if requested.

Native Japanese Editor | EN-JA Localization & AI Content Review
100% Job Success
5.0  (2 reviews)
Toyosu, Japan - 9:57 pm local time
I help companies catch meaning drift, unnatural Japanese, and wording that may reduce trust before content reaches users in Japan.

I’m a native Japanese editor and localization reviewer based in Japan. I review English-to-Japanese localized content, AI-generated Japanese, machine-translated Japanese, UI copy, web copy, e-commerce content, help content, emails, ads, and marketing copy.

My focus goes beyond grammar and surface-level wording. I check whether the Japanese preserves the source meaning, fits the context, reads naturally, and feels clear, consistent, and trustworthy to Japanese users.

I can help with:

• English-to-Japanese (EN-JA) localization review for websites, apps, help centers, emails, ads, and customer-facing copy
• AI-generated and machine-translated Japanese review for accuracy, tone, readability, and meaning preservation
• Machine translation post-editing (MTPE) for Japanese content
• Product pages, service pages, landing pages, marketing copy, and brand voice for Japanese users
• UI strings and web copy, including wording, formatting, placeholders, protected text, and half-width/full-width consistency when applicable
• Source-to-target comparison to identify meaning drift, omissions, mistranslations, overly literal wording, terminology issues, and machine-like phrasing

Selected experience:

• Created, edited, and QA-checked 600+ Japanese WordPress and e-commerce content updates over 10+ years
• Reviewed English-to-Japanese localized content, AI-generated Japanese, and machine-translated Japanese for naturalness, tone, readability, consistency, and meaning preservation
• Evaluated Japanese AI-generated content and user-facing responses for accuracy, usefulness, relevance, local context, and Japanese user intent
• Edited and source-checked a publication-bound Japanese manuscript of approximately 30,000 Japanese characters under NDA
• Earned 5-star Upwork feedback for Japanese proofreading work

As a traditionally published nonfiction author in Japan, I bring an editorial eye for clarity, tone, structure, readability, and polished Japanese.

How I work:

• I review from the perspective of real Japanese users
• I compare source and target text carefully when English source text is available
• I use web research and factual accuracy checks when needed
• I provide clear comments on meaning, tone, terminology, wording, and user intent
• I’m comfortable working with English source text, guidelines, glossaries, style requirements, and tools such as Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Google Sheets, Excel, WordPress, and annotation platforms

Based in Japan (JST).

For an accurate quote, please send the total volume, content type, target audience, preferred tone, and any English source text, guidelines, glossary, or style requirements.
