Numerous factors are taken into account when we calculate the cost of a Japanese translation project. Below are three major factors that have a direct effect on the rate:

• The size of the project: We typically prepare a quote based on the number of words or characters in your source content.
• Service Levels: We provide three levels of Japanese translation services: translation only, translation & editing, and translation, editing & proofreading. The more steps your project requires, the higher the rate is.
• Content Complexity: The complexity of the content has an impact on the rate. Documents with a high level of expertise are priced higher than documents with a low level of expertise.

Our translation rate for the Japanese language starts at $0.11 per word. For a quotation, please contact our team.

Similar to the rate, the turnaround time of a Japanese translation project is affected by various factors namely project size, service type, content complexity, and other special requirements. GTE Localize’s Japanese translators can handle an average of 2,000 words per day. If your project is time-sensitive, we can assign it to more translators, increasing our daily capacity to 4,000 to 8,000 words per day.

ABOUT THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE

• Japanese is the national language and the most widely spoken in Japan. All education, media, business, and government documents are in Japanese.
• It is estimated that there are about 128 million Japanese speakers all over the world.
• Japan is a relatively small country, however, the facts about dialect diversity are quite surprising. They are divided into 2 main groups which are Eastern and Western Japanese.
• Since each dialect differs from the other not only in terms of pronunciation but also grammar and vocabulary, native Japanese is always preferred when it comes to Japanese translation.

LINGUISTIC FEATURES

• The modern Japanese writing system uses a combination of logographic kanji and syllabic kana.
• Traditionally, Japanese is written in columns going from top to bottom, with columns ordered from right to left. Meanwhile, modern Japanese is written horizontally and read from left to right.
• Written Japanese normally does not require spaces between words, with the full stop (。) and comma (、) having the same function as their equivalents in English.
• For Japanese texts in translation, counting characters is the standard method because there is no clear algorithm to find out where one word ends and the other starts.
