Many companies seek Japanese translation and interpretation services when they plan to conduct business with Japanese companies. If this description sounds familiar, and you have already found the right people to work with you may need to draft a contract, occasionally hold virtual conferences, or meet in person with representatives from the foreign company. No matter how you choose to deal with the foreign parties, you will need the assistance of a firm that provides full service Japanese translation services. Translating documents to Japanese is probably not the only services you will need.
Getting the contract translated is just one part of moving forward with your international business venture. If you are considering a joint venture, for example, you may also look for professional Japanese translation because your Japanese partners will need to see your financial statements or information about your company history. Furthermore, if you are planning to hold conference calls you may need to have a Japanese interpreter available to help you communicate with the other party. In some cultures in order to close a deal you must meet with the other party face-to-face. In-person interactions, especially in Asian cultures, often help the two parties form a better relationship with each other and establish trust. During such meetings you must also keep aware of the other party’s non-verbal cues, especially if you are dealing with cultures that vastly differ from your own.
In general, Americans consider Asian cultures as “very different”. Many gestures, facial expressions, or tones can be misunderstood if you are not familiar with the culture you are dealing with. For example, in the Japanese culture a question can be followed by a long silence whereas Americans find such silences very uncomfortable. At California Center for Translation & Interpretation we offer both Japanese document translation, live interpretation, and over the phone interpretation services. Our Japanese interpreters, for example, are highly familiar with the Japanese culture and business negotiation strategies. Whether you are planning to travel to Japan for leisure or to form a partnership with a Japanese company you can rely to assist you with the process. If you need professional translation for Japanese, please contact us and a specialist will assist you.
