ALTA Language Services offers professional Japanese business translation and localization services for a wide array of documents and projects, including financial reports, press releases, contracts, manuals, correspondence, PowerPoint presentations, and corporate websites. Your documents will be in the hands of ALTA’s experienced translators, who will craft a message that is both accurate and effective for the growing Japanese market.
Native speakers and readers of Japanese have spent years learning the three character systems and mastering the different degrees of formality required to politely and successfully conduct business in Japan. In your typical piece of English correspondence, you’ll find a number of idioms and phrases that are integral to a particular industry, or to business-speak in general – for example, the phrase “for all intents and purposes,” or the use of “regards” as a closing. These phrases usually don’t translate directly to foreign languages.
Japanese has these phrases, too. For example, a typical closing statement in a Japanese letter is “yoroshiku onegai shimasu,” a phrase which would have little meaning when translated word for word into English.
To give your documents the proper degree of Japanese formality, and to communicate your message across languages and cultures, you need a true language professional on your side.
Our linguists work only in their native language: material translated from English to Japanese is handled by native Japanese speakers who deal daily with the nuances of the language and its ever-evolving vocabulary. Our linguists are fluent in English and will remain loyal to the style and tone of your original documents.
ALTA will match your documents to a linguist who knows your industry and its lingo. Our contacts within the industry allow us to find a linguist to work with any type of specialized language.
ALTA offers a full array of desktop publishing services. We’ll work within the native file format of your documents, whether that’s QuarkXPress, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, or Microsoft Publisher. Your documents will be press-ready upon delivery.
ALTA has the cultural and linguistic expertise, as well as the technical savvy, to develop a Japanese-language website that displays your business with style and substance. We can handle all web-based file formats, including HTML, XML, Java, ASP, PHP, or any content management system like WordPress.
