For high quaility writing that really resonates with an audience, we believe in using writers rather than machines
In recent years, technological advances in AI translation have rapidly improved speed and functionality of use. As a result, AI translation has become the norm, especially on the web.
However, when we look at the quality of AI translation, there are few that can accurately grasp every grammatical nuance, especially in languages like Japanese, where the subject is often omitted.
The machine’s ‘imagination’ runs wild, and alas the writer’s intended message is lost. At worst the translated text is utterly unintelligible.
Our translations are carried out by native-language translators who have lived in Japan for a long time, are familiar with its culture and customs, and are well-versed in Japanese society.
By discerning the intent behind the words and grasping the fine nuances of Japanese, we can offer translations that stay true to the original meanings.
