So when you send a product catalog, business document or any business sample to a Japanese company, you need to enclose the documents in Japanese. To do the Japanese translation one certainly needs to be proficient in Japanese. However if you are looking for a professional Japanese translator company, you need to consider certain major factors. It is worth remembering that Japanese translators are usually paid by each translated word. Thus there is a significant cost involved. Here are some major factors to evaluate while considering a Japanese translator company.
1 – Company background Check
2 – Their track record of providing Japanese translation service to large corporate/ large organizations
3 – Samples of their translation from Japanese to English
4 – Evaluation of skill & competence of their Japanese translators
5 – Certificates of accuracy or attestations & timely execution provided by clients.
