WHY CHOOSE ME?
16+ years of quality Japanese to English translation based on one core belief that I am only as good as my last translation.
MY SERVICES
My varied business experience as a technical translator and in business since 2002 has provided me with an appreciation of varied customer translation needs and a real-world understanding of numerous translation fields including computers/IT/network storage systems and devices, multimedia systems, telecommunications, general electronics, optics, and semiconductors. I graduated in 1995 from Durham University with a First-Class BA Hons in German, French and Spanish with a translation and language focus, including modules in German advertising & Business French. As a technical manual/patent translation checker/editor for RWS Group in 1995-1999, one of the largest players in the translation industry, I developed expertise in pro-level technical translation from Japanese, French and German into English in numerous fields as listed above and honed my editing/ translation knowledge.
I moved to Japan in 1999 and began working in Tokyo as a full-time translator of mainly Japanese patents in 2002. Since 2002, I have translated hundreds of thousands of words every year from Japanese and have developed a keen eye for accuracy, adding to my skills through ongoing education (Advanced Technical Japanese translation certificate from University of Wisconsin-Madison, a telecommunications certificate, and currently a machine-learning course). I am accurate, easily contactable, and always punctual in my deliveries, and look forward to discussing with you how I can help you communicate your message effectively through quality translation.
