English-Japanese Translation
Different levels of service, to meet your needs and budget
English to Japanese Translation
Most of our translators and native-speaker editors have advanced degrees (e.g., PhD, MD, PharmD, MSc, MEng, and MA) or professional licenses. All are excellent writers. This ensures that everyone who reads your work focuses on the importance of your message.
Because we understand that not every translation is intended for publication, we offer different levels of service, priced differently to meet your needs.

Standard translation
- Your specialist translation team will focus on producing a Japanese translation that accurately conveys your intended meaning. After initial translation, your manuscript and accompanying documents (e.g., figures, tables, supplementary information, and cover letter) will be edited for logical flow, clarity, conciseness, and consistency. If a specific phrase in the source text is ambiguous, your team will place a comment or question relating to the translation directly in the manuscript for you to check carefully.
- You have the opportunity to clarify the meaning of specific aspects of the translated text with your translation team, and to have any revisions you made to the translation checked during a free proof check before submission.
- If you have preferred key terms that you want us to use in the translation, please provide them and your team will use these terms in the translation. This will cut down the time you need to check and revise the translation.
- Also, if you prefer a certain style of writing, we’re happy to look at the style you like and emulate it.
