Process

Translation into English and Other Languages

Since 1998, we have been assisting with document translation for manufacturing and IT companies in Japan.
Our consultants solve translation challenges unique to agile development, such as specification changes and terminology consistency.

We offer proposals ranging from diagnosis and improvement measures for Japanese and English documents that serve as the basis for multilingual deployment,
to a CMS for managing versions and differences, and in-house support seminars for establishing improvement measures.
Since 2000, we have handled numerous post-edits after machine translation.

One-stop support from translation to DTP, screen capture, and functionality checks

We introduce the process and system of our manual translation and instruction manual translation services in human science.
With the technology and experience we have cultivated over many years, we propose the optimal translation process and system. We proceed smoothly without burdening our customers.
In addition to translation, we also offer one-stop services for creating Japanese versions of manuals, DTP editing, screen capture, and actual machine and operation checks.
