Corporate translation · Tokyo, since 1987
Translated, laid out,
delivered on time.
End-to-end language work for business: subject-matter translation, the layout rebuilt to match your original, and a coordinator who runs the project from the first question to the invoice. Three things, because a translation that arrives late or lands in a broken template is not finished.
Yaku — the translation seal
“The editor captured my intended meaning and handled several rounds of revision — and the file came back in our own template.”

Choose the level of checking,
not a vaguer package
The three tiers differ by two lines only: whether a native speaker reads the result, and whether a re-proofread is included. Everything above those two lines is in all three. Figures are for the Japanese → English premium course.

Beyond the words
Three things translation alone can't provide
Quality translation
Crafted by subject-matter translators and reviewed for accuracy, consistency and natural flow in the target language. Every document is read twice, by two different people.
Layout adjustment
We rebuild the layout to match your original design or the format you need, so the translated file looks as professional as it reads — not a plain text dump you have to re-typeset.
Project management
A dedicated coordinator handles every step: the files, the terminology, the schedule, the delivery and the invoice. This ensures efficient job handling and gives you peace of mind.
Before the quote
Exceptional results begin with understanding
Before providing a quote, a coordinator takes the time to understand your goals and requirements: what the document is, who will read it, how it will be used, and what will happen to it after delivery. Only then do we recommend the services that are appropriate for your needs.
And sometimes, the right answer is no. If a less expensive service is sufficient, we’ll say so. If your needs fall outside what we offer, we’ll tell you. Our goal is not to sell you more—it is to ensure you receive the right support for your work.
What the coordinator asks
What is the document, and what is it for?
Who will be reading it — specialists, management, regulators, the public?
Does it need to be returned in a particular template or format?
What is the deadline, and what happens if the deadline is missed?
Is there terminology from earlier work we should follow?

Frequently asked Questions
Questions procurement asks
We rebuild it. Send the design or layout file and the translated document comes back in your template — that is the point of the layout adjustment service, and it is why we accept design files as well as text.
Four ways: the quote request form, an email attachment, FTP, or our secure file delivery system — whichever suits your IT policy.
One coordinator, from the first question to the invoice. They hold the brief, the terminology and the schedule, so you are not re-explaining the account to a queue.
Two lines: whether a native speaker reads the result, and whether a re-proofread is included. Human translation and the three bilingual checks are in all three.
Medicine and pharmaceuticals through every stage to regulatory submission; industry and technology; and the corporate documents a company sends outside its own walls — contracts, reports, internal communications.
After delivery, by bank transfer or card. Corporate accounts are billed per job or on a monthly statement, whichever your accounting prefers.
