Translating a document or website for a Japanese-speaking audience is not something any translator can effectively complete. The translation of text from English into Japanese requires more than the knowledge of the source and target languages. It requires special skill and ability to deliver the message of the original text to the Japanese speakers. Those who provide professional translation for Japanese commonly know how to phrase sentences in the target language to capture the intended meaning of the English speaking writer. They consider the audience before they start translating the text.
The best Japanese translators are the ones who carefully review the English language text and think about different ways they could say the same thing in Japanese and then choose the most suitable option. They also review their work and finalize it before they hand it over to their client. They make sure that their work is flawless and meets the expectations of their clients. Experienced translators with advanced knowledge of Japanese language and culture are aware that translations can sound awkward because English is very different. As a result, they check their translations for any sentence or phrase that sounds inappropriate in Japanese.
Cultural differences are apparent both in document and website translations. In translating a website, the Japanese translator usually should also try to fit the text in the space provided. While translators can often use as much space as they need for document translation, they typically have to keep length in mind for website translations. Text that does not fit in the space provided makes the translated website appear unpleasant. Clever translators can prepare Japanese translations that are high quality and create a great impression on the website itself. They cannot manipulate the design of the website so they have to rely on their language skills to put together translations that look and feel right on the foreign language version of the website.
