Choose Your Japanese Translation Service

GTE Localize offers three different levels of Japanese translation services. Each is designed to achieve a specific content goal.

Standard Plan

Translation Only

(2-eye principle)

We provide Japanese translation for your documents through the expertise of a single native translator. This translator takes the responsibility of self-reviewing their work after completing the translation.

The overall quality of your Japanese translation will be of a satisfactory standard.
This option offers the most cost-effective solution.
It is highly recommended for internal documents and content that will be used on a single occasion.

Select

Pro

Translation + Editing

(4-eye principle)

We ensure the highest quality for your documents by assigning them to two separate native Japanese linguists for translation and editing.

Your translated content will undergo a thorough review, resulting in a polished and error-free outcome.
This choice strikes a balance between three crucial factors: quality, price, and delivery time.
It is suitable for any purpose, particularly for external documents and materials that will be published.

Select

Premium

Translation + Editing + Proofreading

(6-eye principle)

We ensure the utmost quality for your documents by involving three Japanese linguists in the translation, editing, and proofreading process.

Your content will be flawlessly refined and prepared for publication.
Please note that this option is the most expensive compared to other alternatives.
It is particularly recommended for documents that require high visibility and critical marketing materials where precision and accuracy are paramount.

Our Japanese Translation Process

To guarantee the quality of every Japanese localization project, our team follows an optimized working process as follows

1Consultation

Share your unique request with GTE Localize, and our team of consultants will carefully analyze it to provide a tailored Japanese translation solution based on your specific requirements, including language pairs, content, budget, and more.

2Project Confirmation

Once you approve the Japanese translation package we propose, both parties will confirm and complete administrative steps, such as signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), a contract agreement, and submitting a deposit.

3Project Kick-off

Our Project Managers (PMs) will then take the following steps:

Prepare linguistic materials like glossaries, style guides, termbases, and other relevant resources.
Choose the most suitable Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tool or localization platform for the project.
Allocate native translators who are experts in Japanese.
Create a timeline and schedule for the project.

4TEP

A native Japanese translator will be assigned to translate your content, followed by other native linguists who will edit and proofread the translated material.

5Quality Assurance

To identify any possible errors, we utilize QA tools such as X-bench. Our linguists carefully review the QA report, ensuring that only true-positive errors are addressed and corrected.
This iterative process continues until the QA report contains only false-positive errors.

6Formatting

Our team of localization engineers utilizes specialized photo-imaging software to accurately arrange and integrate text and graphics in their appropriate positions.

7In-context Testing

If your project involves document translation, our testers will act as actual readers to review the laid-out files and eliminate any potential errors.
For app, game, or website translations, our testers conduct functional testing as genuine users to ensure a flawless translation without any untranslated strings or functional issues.

8Feedback implementation & Final delivery

We deliver the Japanese translation and make suitable changes if you have any feedback.

Reasons To Consider When Localizing Your Content Into Japanese?

When localizing content for the Japanese market, it’s important to consider the following useful tips for a successful Japanese localization project:

Japanese people have high expectations for perfection, so it’s crucial to avoid spelling and grammar mistakes or use beta versions.
The top search engines in Japan include Yahoo!, Google, Bing.com, and Goo. Colors hold specific meanings in Japan.
Positive colors include red (luck), yellow (courage), and blue (peace), while negative colors include black/white (mourning) and purple (danger), among others.
Japanese websites often feature a variety of colors, such as blue, red, pink, orange, and even yellow. They also tend to have heavy use of text, small graphics, and cute elements. Animated interface elements are common in Japanese design.
The Japanese writing system is complex, consisting of three scripts: Kanji (adopted logographic Chinese characters), Hiragana, and Katakana (two phonetic alphabets).The
Japanese language uses honorific suffixes based on gender, age, and social status. Both horizontal and vertical writing orientations are widely used for different purposes.
Pronunciations and meanings of borrowed words in Japanese may differ from their original language.
Japanese texts are typically 20-55% shorter than their English counterparts.
The metric system of measurement is used in Japan (meters, kilometers, km/h, Celsius). When measuring space, the unit “jo” is used, which is approximately 1.6 square meters.
The unit of rice is “go,” with 1 go equaling 180 milliliters.
The currency used in the Japanese market is the Yen (￥).
The date format follows the year-month-day sequence.
Both 24-hour and 12-hour clock formats are widely used. The 24-hour notation is commonly used in train schedules, while the 12-hour notation includes the addition of “午前” (“before noon”) or “午後” (“afternoon”). Broadcasting and newspapers typically use the 12-hour format.
The full name format in Japanese is a family name followed by a given name. Addresses in Japan start with the postal code, followed by the prefecture, city, and subarea(s), and end with the recipient’s name.
Some books and comics in Japanese are designed to be read from right to left, top to bottom, starting on the right-hand page before continuing to the left.

Why Japanese Translation Services Are Your Key To Success In Japan?

Using Japanese translation services is highly recommended to help your company communicate effectively with target audiences in the Japanese market.

Using Japanese in Japan is A Must

Japanese people prefer using their mother tongue over foreign languages. Therefore, if you want to communicate and attract attention from Japanese audiences, there is no other choice but to speak Japanese.

Japanese Have Low English Proficiency

Japan is ranked as a low English proficiency country. Thus, if your content is only available in English, it is obvious that you can’t expose on a large number of Japanese audiences.

Japanese People Are Detail-Oriented

Japanese people place a high value on minor details. There is no room for error. If your products contain even minor grammar or spelling errors, the likelihood of people purchasing them is very low, if not zero.

Japanese Translation Services Q&A

Calculating the cost of a Japanese translation project takes various factors into consideration. Here are the three main factors that directly impact the pricing:

Project size: We typically provide a quote based on the word count or character count of your source content.
Service levels: Our Japanese translation services offer three levels: translation only, translation and editing, and translation, editing, and proofreading. The more steps involved in your project, the higher the rate.
Content complexity: The complexity of the content also affects the pricing. Documents with specialized subject matter are priced higher than those with simpler content.

Our translation rate for Japanese starts at $0.11 per word.

Please contact our team for a detailed quotation.

Similar to pricing, the turnaround time for a Japanese translation project depends on factors such as project size, service type, content complexity, and any special requirements. Our Japanese translators can handle an average of 2,000 words per day. If your project is time-sensitive, we can assign multiple translators to increase our daily capacity to 4,000 to 8,000 words.

For a more precise delivery time, please reach out to our team.

To assess the quality of our Japanese translation services, you have several options:

Request to see samples of completed Japanese translation projects we have worked on.
Review our list of Japanese clients with whom we have collaborated.
Ask for resumes of our qualified Japanese translators, and we will gladly provide them.
Request a free test translation of up to 300 words to evaluate our capabilities for handling your projects.

At GTE Localize, we provide a lifetime warranty for our Japanese translation services. If any errors are found by our clients after the delivery of the translation, and the errors are our responsibility, we offer free-of-charge editing and corrections. To report any errors, simply contact our team via email.

Absolutely. We prioritize the confidentiality of all information in your documents. Only project-related employees have access to them. To further ensure confidentiality, we are willing to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to protect the documents supplied by our clients. All relevant personnel and linguists are required to sign an NDA with GTE Localize before starting work on any projects.

We accept various payment methods, including cash, bank transfer, Paypal, Payoneer, and Visa. Accepted currencies include US Dollar, Singapore Dollar, Euro, and Vietnamese Dong. If you prefer to pay in another currency, please contact our team for further assistance.
