Japanese to English Documentation Translation
Lingual Passport, LLC can provide an English translation of a Japanese document, usually in the format in which it is received. This service is available for operating procedures, presentations, spreadsheets, manuals, manufacturing instructions, or virtually any other type of document. We primarily use Microsoft® Office 2007 and can read and save files in a variety of formats. We can also work with various web file formats and OpenOffice™ formats. If you do not see your format listed, please contact us. We'll do all we can to get your document translated.
Did You Know?
When translating a document from Japanese to English, a good rule of thumb is that there are two Japanese characters for each English word. This ratio can vary depending upon the nature of the document, e.g. legal, business, or technical.
Pricing is based upon the number of words in the target language, the type of document, and the file format and requisite formatting.
You select the style of translation you want:
- Selected Text - Only the text you want translated is done. This may be a few explanatory paragraphs or labels on a graph. It may be an executive summary or a critical part of a long report. This option saves you money and time.
- Replaced Text - The Japanese text is replaced by the English translation. This is best when there are numerous charts and drawings on the sheet and the layout needs to be preserved as much as possible.
- Parallel Text - The English translation is placed near the Japanese, usually on a per paragraph or per text box basis. This format is most applicable when both Japanese and English speakers will use the document.
And don't forget that these services are also available for your civic or cultural group!
Confidential and Secure
Your files are confidential. Their content, subject matter, and filenames will be held in strictest confidence. If desired, we can encrypt all outgoing e-mail and attachments. Even if you send us un-encrypted files, we can encrypt them when returning the translated copy if you so specify.
We use Windows® 7 for added security and keep the firewall on. Anti virus software is always on and virus scans are performed to keep the machine clean. We also make sure that the operating system and the virus definitions are always up to date.
