Task 04Many problems are caused by Japanese manuals!

Many problems are caused by Japanese manuals!

  • Written by technicians The sentences in Japanese manuals are difficult to understand
  • The terminology and expressions in the Japanese manual are inconsistent and causing confusion.
  • First of all, we need to do something about the Japanese manual...
If the quality of the Japanese document is poor, it will also affect the translated document.
There may be misinterpretations and mistranslations.

Before performing translation, let's "visualize" the text of the Japanese manual and improve the translation quality of English and multilingual manuals.


We will use the expertise gained from manual creation to identify problem areas through analysis and improvement reports for Japanese manuals.

Benefits of Japanese Manual Brush-up

Avoid mistranslations and low quality

Incorrect operation methods can lead to loss of trust and potential accidents.
Improving the quality of Japanese, English, and multilingual manuals will increase customer satisfaction.

Decrease in number of inquiries and responses to the help desk and support staff.

Some customers may find the manual difficult to understand and may burden the help desk.
Providing accurate and easy-to-understand manuals to users can also help reduce the operating costs of the help desk.

Translation Cost Reduction

Inconsistent terminology and expressions can also lead to a decrease in reuse rates when using translation memory tools such as Trados, resulting in increased costs.
By establishing conventions for unified terminology and expressions and writing Japanese manuals, cost reduction can also be expected.
