Multilingual translation · Tokyo, since 1987
Your research,
in eight more languages.
Chinese, Korean, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Russian, through the same four-step process: translate, review, edit, final check. Read the note below before you order — these languages are handled differently from Japanese and English.
Sei — the world
The same process,
a different bench.
Japanese and English are handled by translators with a degree in your subject. The other eight languages are handled by our general professional translators — accurate and natural, but not specialists in your field.
Say what the document is for and we will tell you honestly whether this is the right service.
Important notice!
This multilingual service is excellent for business documents, correspondence and creative content. Our translations are accurate and read naturally. Please contact us if you require subject-matter specialists in these or other languages.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about multilingual translation
Chinese, Korean, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Russian, besides Japanese and English. If you need another language, ask — we will say plainly whether we can do it well or should decline.
Professional translators, native in the target language, working through the same four passes. They are not the subject-matter specialists who handle Japanese and English.
Tell us what the document is and we will answer honestly. For deeply technical or industry-specific material the honest answer is sometimes no — and it is cheaper for you to hear it before the order than after.
Ask with the pair and the document in front of you. Some pairs we handle directly; others we would route through English, and we will say so rather than doing it silently.
Yes. Your glossary is kept and reused, so the same terms come back the same way in every language and in every later job.
Every employee and every external partner signs a confidentiality agreement, access to a file is limited to the people assigned to it, and the assignment is logged. Forte holds the Privacy Mark and works under ISO 9001:2015.
