In addition to being dedicated to accuracy, a translator must be able to capture and convey the nuances that animate the original text. This places challenging demands on the translator of Japanese because unique expressions are abundant, and slight changes in form can have a profound bearing on the sense of a phrase or passage.

When working in the area of general translation we are committed to reflecting even the most subtle feelings and states of mind that may appear in the original Japanese. Drawing on an extensive background in Japanese culture as well as Classical Japanese, we strive to "read, as well as translate, between the lines."

Our approach to the wide variety of documents that we handle for our technical and business clients is to guarantee prompt, accurate renderings that are grounded in a thorough awareness of the latest conceptual and terminological developments in the field and are processed, produced and delivered by means of the latest information technology.

Whether it be brief paraphrasing, rapid free translation or precise, detailed work-in any field-we are prepared to provide the service that you need.
